Why does upstream has re-packed their tarball ? And it seems that the ebuild doesn't reflect this till now, isn't it ? Reproducible: Always
See http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/68488 for more info on the renewed package. Looks like there's been some sort of packaging slipup. It doesn't look like too much of a problem, but should be fixed nonetheless.
ok
I think you misunderstood. The file downloaded by the current ebuild is the old and wrong one. Please reopen this bug to have this fixed by a Gentoo developer.
Created attachment 298081 [details] net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode-8.83.5.1-1.ebuild Based on the net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode-8.83.5.1 ebuild. I'm new to writing ebuilds, so please check to see that I handled the version number correctly. This new ebuild appears to work for me.
