Description Gabriel Devenyi 2007-11-19 14:54:58 UTC 
Performing paludis -pi everything gives:
net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode-2.14.4 {:0} [U 2.14.1.5]  <everything>

Then installing this version and running paludis -pi everything again gives:
net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode-2.14.1.5 {:0} [D 2.14.4]  <*net-wireless/iwlwifi-1.1.21-r1:0::installed>

1) You should NOT unmask =net-wireless/iwl3945-ucode-2.14.4, since that's the older ucode, which doesn't work with your version of iwlwifi. That's to blame on a change in upstream's versioning scheme.

2) Read http://paludis.pioto.org/faq/stricter.html#downgrades , the section "Paludis wants to downgrade...".

Thanks, the issue was the unconditional unmasking of iwl3945-ucode and the naming scheme change.
