running emerge -uDvp world, I got a block between ipw2100 and ieee-80211.
I ran emerge -C ipw2100, and the block cleared, although ieee80211 was no
longer in the update list either.
Since it was recommended to have both of these on the system in order for
the wireless to work correctly,
is that a bug or do I really not need both of these on the system?
the install is 2005.1 2.6.12-r6 on a dell i8600
Thanks as always for any input.

By doing emerge -C ipw2100 you have removed the ipw2100 package (so you
no longer have it on your system). This also removes ipw2100 from
/var/lib/portage/world
Now when you run emerge -uDvp world it no longer includes ipw2100 (and
dependencies of ipw2100, which ieee80211 is) in the list. If you want to
use ipw2100 you will have to emerge it again (which will emerge
ieee80211 as well).
Do an emerge -p ipw2100 (having unmerged it already, it shouldn't have
the block on ieee80211). Then if all looks good emerge ipw2100 and
hopefully you don't get any errors on compilation
