Hey, I'm preparing to set up a wireless network to share dsl with a laptop. My problem is that I have a USB DSL modem (Alcatel Speedstream). All of the wireless access points I have found require the dsl modem to plug into the wireless access point via ethernet. Would it work to put a nic in the computer that the dsl is on and then connect the nic to a wireless access point to share the dsl? If so would I need to use a crossover cable? Do I need a router?

Someone please help. I have a great new Dell laptop on the way and need advice.

Thanks
