PLEASE PLEASE search bugs.gentoo.org before posting new bugs. See bug #35980, which in turn references bug #32737. THAT bug has all the details of the current work ongoing to fix this issue for all 2.6 external kernel module ebuilds. Marking as a duplicate. Please follow either #35980 or #32737 for the details of when this overhaul is fully tested and commited. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 35980 ***
