Thanks, I'll give that a try next time.

The keypoint to me is that I can reboot into the Fedora live cd, and 
everything's fine.  Or, I can boot into windows 2000.  Why is the gentoo 
live cd behaving differently, or having different requirements?

Heh.  It's not really a wireless connection, though, is it?  As far as 
the pc is concerned it's a wired connection.  correct?  I'm using the 
asus wl-330g as a wireless bridge.  To my knowledge, fedora just sees a 
wired connection.  I can try knoppix, but would expect it to work out of 
the box, too.

How did you know it was wireless connection?
