Thanks Mark for the info. It didn't help directly, but your ideas spurred me on to find this:Henry, In my personal search to find a USB 802.11ac networking adapter I ran across one additional resource which might help you, or others laters, in your searches. If you were to run the command 'lspci -nn | grep Ethernet' as I do here on my desktop: (adjust what you are grepping for if it's not Ethernet but rather something else)c2RAID6 ~ # lspci -nn | grep Ethernet 05:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller [11ab:4364] (rev 12) 07:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller [11ab:4364] (rev 12) c2RAID6 ~ # then you will find both the Ethernet controllers and their associated PCI vendor & device IDs. In my case for the Marvell controllers the ID is '11ab:4364' If you then go to Google in your browser and put this in the search area, making sure to remove the colon: "11ab 4364" site:cateee.net/lkddb/ the first result directs you to this page: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SKY2.html which gives you information about what kernels support this device. This works for both PCI & USB device IDs. Hope this helps, Mark

This page describes how to enable support for WiFi devices based on Ralink 802.11n PCI chipsets on Debian systems.
Which got my Debian/Mate/XFCE install functioning in wireless mode... But probably more important, once again rather verifies that there is a driver problem (with my Ralink) in Gentoo Live DVD...
You mentioned in a previous msg, that it was possible to install Gentoo from another "live" DVD/C OS... wondering if you know of any how to do links... ?
