Get your drivers both .sys and .inf and put them in a convenient folder. You can get a list of supported cards on the ndiswrapper site. 

ndiswrapper -i yourdriver.inf
cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.wlan0
emerge -an wpa_supplicant

Add the following line to: 

/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6*
ndiswrapper

Edit: /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to set the SID and access key, etc. Then add the following to /etc/conf.d/net: 

modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dndiswrapper"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
rc-update add net.wlan0 default
