Hi!
You simply mount your gentoo partition, mount /proc, /dev, /sys as explained in the handbook.
Then chroot into it and "emerge -av wpa_supplicant"

basedanon,
Welcome to Gentoo.
You run | Code: | | emerge -fpv wpa_supplicant |
and make a note of the files it wants.
Fetch the files and put them into /usr/portage/distfiles
| Code: | | emerge -av wpa_supplicant |
will now run and build using the files you provided.
This method is called Sneakernet.

Thanks so much that worked.
Great OS, I love having everything compiled from source. |

I made the same mistake when I was installing Gentoo for a first time, but my solution was simpler - I just plugged in ethernet cable  |
