I'd like to keep the base station out of the loop, for now, if possible.
That would keep setup costs to 2x$15.
Essentially, what I'm asking is if it's possible to have WinXP act "as
if" it were a base station, allowing an adhoc connection with the Newt,
and bridging the wireless connection of the Newt to the wired LAN on the
PC.
