I am attaching a working ebuild file to fix this.

Comment 2 Carter Smithhart 2009-06-17 05:29:37 UTC

I can confirm this problem. Thanx for the fix!

Comment 3 Brandon Bergren 2009-09-12 17:23:07 UTC

Confirmed, arrived at the same ebuild independently before I searched.

Comment 4 Dave Bender 2010-05-01 19:29:44 UTC

I just test -r1 and it worked great. The one currently in the portage tree does NOT work. PLEASE UPGRADE. Thank you.

Comment 5 Maxim Kammerer 2012-12-09 18:37:29 UTC

This bug has been apparently been fixed with

  S="${WORKDIR}/${PN}"

and can be closed now?

This is no longer a problem. The files live now in the sys-kernel/linux-firmware package.
