USB works fine on my laptop.  Haven't gotten into wifi yet.

Becareful with gentoo on a laptop.  I have two laptops with gentoo on
it.  Laptop hardware is not designed to be running at 100% cpu
utilization all the time, while a desktop could care less.  Gentoo means
compiling a lot and many hours running at near 100% cpu util.  This
broke my power supply in one of my laptops.  The other laptop I have a 3
year warranty on it, and the hardware is so new that Gentoo is the best
for it.  Freebsd won't boot.
