Hi all! Part of the electronics lab at my university has only a couple of wired lan ports, and no wifi coverage. Is there a way I can plug in my computer's wired NIC and 'broadcast' over my wifi card to other users? Is there a way to configure my wifi card as a DHCP AP, and bridge whichever clients associate to the wired LAN? Thanks in advance....

I don't think the drivers for your card would support that. Might be wrong, but I don't think. Regardless, just go buy an AP. You can find them for less than $20 on Ebay, or maybe a Tech company would be willing to donate one for you. Try http://www.dugancom.com for the donation.
