The rt2800pci module has not been included with the kernel in installcd, yet its relatives such as rt2800usb and rt2500pci are. This is probably just because of nobody needing it, but I do need this module in order to set up network on the installcd. Quality of life enhancement, really.
A missing driver on the installation mediums is not a "high" priority bug. You're basically making a "feature request" - "add support for device X". I'll try to go over the kernel config tomorrow. BTW, what arch and version did you test?

I see I haven't touched the kernel config in a long time. I'm updating the config and will push it to the releng repo in a bit.
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/releng.git/commit/?id=cd39c541be8a039bc2f561364a7eedcee90e3285 This should be fixed in the next build.
Closing as we've built a few CDs since.
