you should be able to
| Code: | | emerge -k linux-wlan-ng |
even without internet or the 2nd cd
as long as you don't have any weird security set up with your router, restarting should allow gentoo's hotplug (if you've installed it and set it to run on bootup) to load the correct modules and then make internet work for you.
edit: this may be of use to you as well:
