Installing with Wireless Card (compaq WL200)

KeithReuters

Hello

Okay. I purchased a few weeks ago an AP and a CompaqWL200 network card for about $40 :-p
I have an LFS distro installed downstairs on my router, blah blah blah my computer is upstairs in my room, and I wanna set up Gentoo on it.
Only problem is, I'm booting using the livecd (1.4 rc1-rc2), but it doens't detect my card. when I look into /proc/pci, it tells me I have a Cirrus PCMCIA to PCI bridge. Alright so far.
I tried to load the O.... module and the Hermes one, but nothing so far.
Well. That might sound stupid, but how do I net install my Gentoo distro over a wireless connection using a Compaq WL200 card, knowing that make is not included on the LiveCD?
Has anyone managed to do this?
Please help....

Ok kids

I've found a solution, but I need to ask you all a question :
Is it possible to install a Gentoo disto by downloading all the files from the FTP server and then burn them to a CD?
I know this might have been asked 1000 times.
According to the x86 installation instructions, it seems impossible, since the "emerge" instruction is used several times.
Thanks
