So here's the problem:
I'm at school that uses wireless certificates for WPA-PSK, so I can't hook up my Wii to wireless, which really sucks. I do have plenty of computers lying around near my Wii, however, and an extra wireless router that's not doing anything. So...
Here's my haphazard solution:
Use my second ethernet jack on my computer, which already has internet working just fine, in conjuction with ICS to send information to my wireless router. From there, the Wii will be able to connect to a simple, WEP key wireless 802.11g network and get online and do whatever it is Wii does online.
So, basically, the point of this thread is to get assistance on getting this set up. I don't have a lot of time to do trial and error with this so I'm just looking for a tried and true method to do this. I've included a picture here to illustrate, and remind, what is I'm trying to do with what materials I have.

The router I'm attempting to use to make this happen, by the way, is a Linksys WRT54GC. Thanks for the help.
