Can it be done with one Windows laptop and an Apple one?

Sure.  The Powerbook might pick it up automatically.  Otherwise, it can't be that hard to change...it's even pretty easy in Linux.

Don't know how wireless broadband uses ethernet...but if it does, yeah, you would only need one wireless card.

An access point is an Internet router designed Ethernet and WiFi.

I setup a network on the Powerbook, and the Windows laptop isn't detecting it. So... How do I make sure the Windows laptop's card is in ad-hoc mode?

I was thinking it'd have an arial somewhere, connected to a box (modem?), connected to the computer via ethernet.
But I dunno.. We'll soon find out :)
