I'm trying to install wireless network on my myth center, I have a Wireless usb (asus Wl-167g). Following the guide: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_rt2x00

kernel setup:
# CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK is not set
CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y
CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
CONFIG_IEEE80211=y
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP=m
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP=m
CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP=m
# CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC is not set
CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_586=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_ARC4=y

Disable CONFIG_SMP in your kernel.
