Remember to reopen.
Please try downgrading to sys-fs/udev-058 and see if that fixes the problem. Did firmware loading ever work for you?
ipw2100 works with udev-069 quite fine
So you're saying that udev-070 and above doesn't work for you?
for udev-070 and above the ipw2100-fimeware doesn't work and after downgrading to udev-060 my mouse device is gone
Has this, in fact, been resolved? I have gentoo-hardened installed. On the heels of that, I have installed hotplug, coldplug (both enabled at boot), ipw2100-firmware-1.3. I have configured the kernel without ipw2100 support, with ipw2100 support, and with ipw2100 support as a module. The firmware is installed in /lib/firmware, precisely where it is (according to the docs) supposed to be found. I'm running udev 1.4.6-r1. And, the reason for all this query, I still see the exact same errors as the original poster.
