If there's a driver in the kernel for your wireless hardware, select
it and use -Dwext.  The madwifi driver will work with particular
wireless chipsets only (atheros).  If there is no wireless driver in
Linux, then use ndiswrapper (you'll need to emerge it) and use the
MSWindows driver with it - it may work.
