azexkush,
Welcome to Gentoo.
First of all we need to know what it is. Plug it in somewhere and run
Post the output.
It may need both a kernel driver and firmware.
Once that's in place the device will look like a number of serial ports.
Look for /dev/tty* devices being added and removed when the device in added and removed.
We need to know the names.
One of them will behave like a serial modem. You send it commands to connect and start PPP.
Your internet interface will be ppp0 ... so you need kernel support for PPP and net-dialup/wvdial to put the bits together.
That's the most common way.
A few devices present an Ethernet port but that's much rarer

azexkush,
That means that the kernel can read the USB configuration space.
We need to see the entire line that shows your dongle. We need the numbers from the end of the line, like That's my HUAWEI 3G dongle.
