My immediate response is that a PCI/USB wifi card costs less than the |

combined brainpower that you have had respond to this question. |

My actual approach would be to set up the laptop as an rsync mirror, then: |
| 9 |
laptop $ emerge --sync |
| 10 |
(connect laptop to null-internet box via crossover cable + sync from laptop) |
| 11 |
nointernet $ emerge --sync |
| 12 |
nointernet $ emerge -pvfuDN world > getfile |
| 13 |
(copy getfile to laptop, move laptop to delicious bandwidth) |
| 14 |
laptop $ wget -flags getfile |
| 15 |
(move laptop back to target machine) |
| 16 |
laptop $ rsync gotfiles/* no-internet-box/usr/portage/distfiles |
| 17 |
nointernet $ emerge -uDvN world |
