Those other packages can go away. Feel free to propose an ebuild change to handle this automatically, otherwise, I don't know what to suggest.
Adding blockers and mask for removal all the other packages? You know this is something that should have done from the start.
Sorry, no, I didn't realize this was needed, I didn't know there were so many different packages out there to conflict with this one :) I'll start marking them off...
A new package net-wireless/iwl1000-ucode has been added to the tree, which installs the colliding file iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode

(In reply to comment #2) > Adding blockers and mask for removal all the other packages? You know this is > something that should have done from the start. Regarding licenses, this would be a bad idea. There are users who don't want to install a whole bunch of non-free firmware blobs, if they just need support for one specific device.
sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20100930 collides with x11-drivers/radeon-ucode-20100408 to complete the list, collision-protect kicks in
Since this bug was filed, several new firmware packages were added to the tree that collide with linux-firmware. If there are no objections, I am going to update the list of blockers with the collisions I can find.

As I talked with gregkh time ago, he expected someone else than he to do that and, then, would be nice if you could fix blockers yourself :) Thanks a lot
It seems that most if not all colliding packages are listed in blockers now.
