if its gentoo then you should try gentoo forum first.
anyway if the main problem is emerging madwifi-ng:
1. can you use ethernet cable to connect to internet and download
them in linux using wget?.
2. try to rename the blah.tar.tar to blah.tar.bz2 then test
extracting them. if failed, extract the original blah.tar.tar, then
repack them in tar then compressed them using bzip2. Once you got
good compressed tar.bz2 I think you need to move them
to /usr/portage/distfiles (or whatever link that sebayon / you
instructs in /etc/make.conf). then you need to issue the emerge
command again.
3. if there is madwifi ebuild available, you dont need to rebuild the
kernel. the ebuild will make the module for you.
hope this is helpful
