from the ebuild:

        if kernel_is ge 2 6 10; then
                eerror "The driver in your kernel is newer than this snapshot, please use it"
                eerror "together with prism54-firmware instead of this ebuild."
                die "kernel drivers are newer"
        fi

thanks

driver is being replaced by p54 driver

Comment 3 David J Cozatt 2010-07-14 01:05:20 UTC 
The prism54-2.13.ebuild in tree properly installed my firmware for kernel 2.34.1 this was not gentoo-sources but a kernel dload. Checked the md5sum matched the download from wireless.kernel.org I had used. 

System is amd64 WORKSFORME

Driver package should be dropped in favor of kernel driver and prism54-firmware moved to p54 likely.
But don't drop the firmware.ebuild please!!!

dont worry! the prism54-firmware package is not scheduled for removal.
Comment 6 David J Cozatt 2010-07-14 16:47:03 UTC 
Thanks and it needs a version bump the 'stable' package doesn't work with current (dare I asy recent kernels)
but anyway for amd64 it seems to be fine
