If it is supported, how would I go about booting with a newer kernel?

Alternatively, there should be a linux driver for your ethernet
controller on Intel's site. If you can download it on another machine
and copy it to your new one, maybe you can compile & load the module
during the installation
I have downloaded the intel network driver and saved it on my usb
thumbdrive. The problem is that I
need a LiveCD with the kernel sources and gcc to compile the network
driver for the kernel.
I do have another linux machine here, but it's currently only
accessible via ssh (no graphics). Would that help me somehow?

Will a Knoppix CD see your network? You don't have to have a Gentoo CD
to install Gentoo. I did mine from a Mandrake OS. I have done it from
Knoppix and some other CD before. As long as your network works and you
can chroot, it should work fine. As long as memory isn't a issue.
