looks like broadcom has updated their driver to a newer version while portage still tries to download an older one which no longer exists. The new file version that's available on broadcom's website is hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz sudo emerge broadcom-sta Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Verifying ebuild manifests >>> Emerging (1 of 1) net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.60.246.6 >>> Downloading 'http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-portsrc_x86-64_v5.60.246.6.tar.gz' --2010-12-26 01:10:53-- http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-portsrc_x86-64_v5.60.246.6.tar.gz Resolving www.broadcom.com... 208.70.88.55 Connecting to www.broadcom.com|208.70.88.55|:80... connected.
