First, add wireless network support to your system (add reference here) as usual. It should be noted that this driver won't work on SMP cpus/kernels

For this specific adapter, do as follows:

Code: run as root 
echo "net-wireless/rt2570 ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge rt2570
modprobe rt2570

Running iwconfig will show a device named rausb0. This is your usb network adapter. You can then configure it, e.g.

Code: run as root 
iwconfig rausb0 essid mynetwork key mykey
ifconfig rausb0 192.168.1.10
