I've made a lot of progress. I can get the wireless connection to work
as long a I do everything manually. So far I have not been able to find
any config files in gentoo to set things like the ESSID, WEP, etc.

If I use the net.eth1 script to bring up the wireless, it does something
that screws it up, but if I just do:

ifconfig eth1 up
dhcpcd eth1

it works fine.

So my question now is how to correctly automate the startup and be able
to deal with different WAP's, as well as easily switching from wired to
wireless. From what I've been able to determine, I think I'll have to
write my own scripts for this, but any pointers would be appreciated.
I've read about netenv, but it is a boot time change. What I want is to
be able to use the 100baseT wire when I'm sitting at my desk, but be
able to pull the wire and walk away with it switching to wireless
without missing a beat.
I thought this would be something everyone would want to do, but so far
haven't been able to find any info on this type of setup.

BTW, here's the lsmod:
