no that wouldn't work if the airport card was powered off, it only
works for wired ethernet.

OSX only provides for Appletalk over 1 interface. So you could use
appletalk over airport, but then you couldn't use it on the wired
ethernet. Don't know how useful that would be.

PS A really annoying "feature" of this setup is that you ALWAYS have to
manually re-enable this wireless sharing after a reboot of the OSX box.
The setting doesn't stick. There is a command line hack available to
make it startup at startup, but YMMV.
