Comment 2 garfungiloops 2007-02-05 20:52:23 UTC
net-wireless/zd1211-firmware-1.3
Comment 3 Matthias Schwarzott gentoo-dev 2007-02-05 21:26:14 UTC
Which version of udev do you have installed?
Comment 4 garfungiloops 2007-02-05 21:40:01 UTC
udev ver 103
Comment 5 Matthias Schwarzott gentoo-dev 2007-02-05 21:44:11 UTC
Then problem should be easily solvable by updating to now stable udev-104-r9.
Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-05 21:58:31 UTC

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 147006 ***
Comment 7 garfungiloops 2007-02-06 00:31:14 UTC
Sorry for Reopen, but:

I've updated udev to udev-104-r9
- the same error

unmerged hotplug
- the same

then updated a baselayout as suggested in comment#23 of bug 147006

nothing of that helps,
still have the same error
Comment 8 garfungiloops 2007-02-08 20:17:01 UTC
The same problem is discussing in the forum:

Comment 9 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-08 20:27:04 UTC
Do you have zd1211rw built into the kernel? If so, build it as a module instead.
Comment 10 garfungiloops 2007-02-08 20:49:23 UTC
Daniel,

Thanks, just did that
as the module it works.
Comment 11 garfungiloops 2007-02-08 20:50:30 UTC
However I also emerged netplug, as suggested in forum
