I have a notebook using net-wireless/ieee80211. I mostly "emerge world" before going to bed to have the work done the morning when I wake up. The problem is emerging "net-wireless/ieee80211" fails because of the gentoo-sources previously emerged. It'd very frustrating as well as it exists a solution: running /usr/portage/net-wireless/ieee80211/files/remove-old. Could the ebuild just run "remove-old" before it works? My "world" is about 480 items, and "net-wireless/ieee80211" is the 300th. It's impossible to wait for the 300th emerged item. On the other hand, suppose I wait for the turn of "net-wireless/ieee80211" to be emerged, If my goal is to "emerge world", the gentoo-sources will be re-emerged then "net-wireless/ieee80211" will encounter the problem again, so it's quite a serious problem...

Problem with ieee80211 is that it requires a prepared /usr/src/linux (as in it requires you to remove any ieee80211 components from the kernel's source tree). Thus we need to use the script. Once ipw2?00 is punted, and ipw3945 supports the inkernel ieee80211, its probably also a candidate for removal (depending on how much stuff is rev-depending on this).
