Yes, something like that... I live in Fremont, and am doing similarly. Currently my AP is powered off, as I don't have it set up outside my firewall, yet. Once I get this done, I will be providing wifi internet access to a $$$ly challenged family near my house.

Of course: use the AP as a bridge of sorts where you have wireless input via antenna then re-broadcast via AP's wireless signal output. Then I will be able to be truly wireless again and just use my pcmcia card alone to pick the APs output signal. Am I correct? Also, I'm in the 94102 zip zone at Hermann and Buchanan. I consume and don't provide but it may be possible to use my roof as a repeater node or something.
