Running gentoo ppc64 on a playstation i didn't get the device "wlan0" with a kernel >=2.6.25 + Geoff patches. I do not know for sure, but as i read the elog carefully i guess there has been missing an elog tip to delete a file 70-persistent-net.rules for new automatic generating. Through a mailing list i got it to work as follows: rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules \ && udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=net reached the goal of having device "wlan0".

Actual Results: iwlist eth1 scan -> no wireless available iwlist wlan0 scan -> no wireless available Expected Results: wireless lan
Added some elog about persistent-net to pkg_postinst of udev-122-r1.
