Yes. But it doesn't mean that the driver for your card or the kernel's 802.11 stack are bug-free. It's likely that the Gentoo Live thing and the just-installed (and updated) OS have different kernel versions (and thus different driver versions). You could try downgrading your kernel to the same version that is on the Live thing.
