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: laptop $ emerge --sync (connect laptop to null-internet box via crossover cable + sync from laptop) nointernet $ emerge --sync nointernet $ emerge -pvfuDN world > getfile (copy getfile to laptop, move laptop to delicious bandwidth) laptop $ wget -flags getfile (move laptop back to target machine) laptop $ rsync gotfiles/* no-internet-box/usr/portage/distfiles nointernet $ emerge -uDvN world
