1 Hi Henti,
2 You should brake this circle causing the chicken egg problem ;-)).
3 The solution is to have a machine with internet connection.
4 Never mind what OS. Use this machine to download the modem module source.
5 Then copy the source on the gentoo machine in the $DISTDIR directory.
6 Now you will be able to emerge and configure the modem module.
