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.
