+I have talked with you yesterday about this in wich i told that the
+drivers from Realtek site would fix the problems cause by the current
+realtek drivers in current kernel-3.0.x
+
+You said that the firmware files should be in nonfree repository, and
+that part could simply been fixed instead removing packages that
+provide good modules, that do not the cause the problems reported in:

+http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-295896-start-0.html
+
+and you have simply erased good packages when you could simply moved
+the firmware package to nonfree repository.
+
+But all this was told you yesterday and still you erase the package.
