Can you make a laptop with a verizon internet air card into a wifi router hotspot?

I would think this would be possible somehow?

Generally, not really. You could try to use the Win 7 virtual wifi if you can find drivers that support the air but the simpler solution is to get something like a cradlepoint router where you can pop your aircard into.

Wow the cradlepoint looks cool. Does it just automatically connect with compatible verizon air cards? Seems wierd not being able to see the connection happen on a screen.

He doesn't need 2 adapters or additional software, the verizon card is it's own adapter so you can turn your laptops built in WiFi card into an Adhoc network (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_ad-hoc_network) and use internet connection sharing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Connection_Sharing).

The laptop is a pretty old dell with winxp. If it has wifi will xp work with the verizon adapter?
