output wireless from laptop?

Hi,

I was wondering whether it was possible to output a wireless signal (a la Mac) from my arch box. I would like to be able to do this because I am behind an ISA proxy, and so it would be useful if my other device (ipod) could connect to the internet via a wireless.

Is it possible?

Here's the relavant lspci line

05:05.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)

Thanks for all the help guys!

You could certainly create an ad-hoc network, assuming that your laptop isn't using the wireless to get the internet in the first place.

check the wiki for network sharing with wireless and be sure your wifi drivers support it

on a side note, if you want to easily do this, use networkmanager
