Install Gentoo using Wireless Network

Is it possible to install gentoo using via a wireless network? I have a Linksys WUSB12. I have already downloaded and burned the Universal LiveCD, but where do I go from here. The network has WEP enabled, but can be turned off if needed to. I know that the driver that supports my device is linux-wlan-ng, how do I activate it from the livecd?

I would not count on the universal liveCD supporting your wireless card. Wireless support is pretty lacking in the latest release.

As a workaround, you can grab a knoppix CD to install Gentoo from. Knoppix has much higher chances of recognising your card. :-)
