Please allow tethering via wireless router

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Here's my setup:
My desktop computer (192.168.1.2) is connected to a wifi router (192.168.1.1) 
by ethernet. The router 
has 4 lan ports and wifi, which is in the same network as the lan ports 
(192.168.1.x). My G1 connects 
normally to wifi (acquiring 192.168.1.3).

So, what I want is to use my G1 as a gateway for my computer, to use G1's 3G 
service.

AFAIK, this program allows only ad-hoc tethering, so that I have to have a 
wireless adapter on my 
computer to use it. Since my computer can already see G1 (ping it), I don't see 
a need for additional 
hardware.

P.S. This will probably also allow other (ad-hoc-incompatible) devices to use 
G1's 3G connection 
through a wireless router.

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve. This is a 
wireless-tethering-application
which supports bluetooth- AND wifi-tethering. If you want to connect your 
router via
wifi (using wifi as wan-interface - to make use of the integrated switch) your
home-router needs to be able to connect as client to a wifi-adhoc-network. 
Ad-Hoc is
the _only_ method we can support due the limitation of the current 
wireless-driver.

What I'm trying to do is to use my 3G connection from a computer without a wifi 
adapter.
So, since my computer, wifi router and G1 are all in the same network (G1 is 
connected to the router normally), I 
should be able to use G1 as my internet gateway, right?
The only thing missing is that once G1 connects to wifi, it disables the 3G 
internet. That and the firewall rules for 
forwarding.

I don't really understand this. G1 can connect to the wireless router (no 
ad-hoc there). It's the same driver, no?

@ ashaduri, what kind of router are you using? make/model/version? If you have 
a 
Linksys look and see if your able to use a 3rd party firmware like DD-WRT 
(http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/dd-wrt/hardware.html) which allows your router 
to 
connect as a client to the tether app and share your 3G connection across your 
network.

I do have Linksys, but unfortunately it's WRT54G 7.0, which is unsupported by 
all third-party firmwares.
Thanks anyway
