[blah blah metadata, I hereby assign all copyright for the following text to the Gentoo Foundation] sys-fs/udev-217 and sys-fs/eudev-2.1 no longer provide a userspace firmware loader. If you require firmware loading support, you must use kernel 3.7 or greater with CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n. No action is required if none of your kernel modules need firmware.
