baselayout-1.11.0 is hard masked. If you want to use it (and keep it ;)
you have to add the following line to /etc/portage/package.unmask:

>=sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.0

Tested and works for me:
$ emerge -pv baselayout

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.1 [1.10.4] -bootstrap -build
-debug -livecd -static (-uclibc) 131 kB

Total size of downloads: 131 kB

Which files did you edit?

Ahh, I missed the >
Seems to work now. So far 1.11.0 worked well for me, we´ll see about 1.11.1, I
really like the wireless scripting better.
Thanks,

Also try emerge -uUvDa ...the -U only lets it upgrade, if I recall aright.

Don't use -U. It means upgrade, but never downgrade. Which the gentoo
devs believe to be broken be design since security downgrades will
never happen then. Only use -u for upgrading.
