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