Perhaps if you're using WEP it's easier on a binary distro, but if
you're using WPA-PSK it's a lot easier on Gentoo. Just edit
wpa_supplicant.conf to enter your pre-shared key, and add
modules=("wpa_supplicant")
wlan0=("dhcp")
in /etc/conf.d/net
The other distros I tried all had long HOWTOs (complete with editing
system scripts as opposed to just editing configuration files) on how to
make sure wpa_supplicant would start before the interface came up.
