If you had read the hint a few lines above, you will see that those warnings are non-fatal.
You are right, sorry. Anyway the module doesn't work: ipw-2.3-boot.fw load filed :Reason -2 unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE I re-emerged ipw2200-firmware and rebooted.
Are you using sys-fs/udev-068? If so, does downgrading to sys-fs/udev-058 fix this issue?
sigh, not udev again :( Yes, I also updated to udev-68. I'll try to downgrade. Until then: ...and it doesn't work with my old kernel (r9) no more, too.

Yes, udev-058 does fix it.
Reopening.
