Description Anthony Scopatz 2011-01-19 21:19:00 UTC
The broadcom-sta wireless drive is out of date on stable.  Broadcom no longer has the tarball to download. This ebuild should be removed and another one in should be moved to stable.  The specific atom is "=net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.60.48.36-r1"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge broadcom-sta

Actual Results:  
wget fails to find the source file.

Thanks for the report, but it looks like there is already a request to solve this problem by stabilizing broadcom-sta-5.60.246.6. You can add your observation about disappeared tarball to bug 350069, to add motivation for getting this stablized...
