atmel-firmware
ipw2100-firmware
ipw2200-firmware
b43-firmware
b43legacy-firmware
rtl8192su-firmware
zd1201-firmware
zd1211-firmware

None of these are blockers on linux-firmware, none of these are included
in linux firmware, none of these should be masked with no replacement as
we are breaking approximately 90% of wifi cards on laptops built in the
last 5 years.

Only the following acctually show masked when I update:
- -net-wireless/atmel-firmware
- -net-wireless/b43-firmware
- -net-wireless/b43legacy-firmware
- -net-wireless/rtl8192su

Due to the damage this will cause I am removing the mask on these NOW, I
will cleanup the ebuilds today but this is bad, really really bad.  If
we are cleaning up linux-firmware that's great, but someone needs to
check that the things we are masking/removing are actually in
linux-firmware...

Thanks,
Zero
