Off-topic, I know, but...
Do you know whether or not your laptop actually *can* function as a wifi
access point? Because as far as I know, most can't. I know I've tried
to do this and run into problems. Instead, if you've got two wifi
devices that you want to talk to each other directly, you're supposed to
use "ad-hoc mode". However, this also has many problems, and most
device manufacturers seem to treat ad-hoc mode as a kind of
embarrassment they'd rather not talk about. Whenever you depart from
the established script of "computers with wifi adapters talking to a
dedicated, fixed, wired access point", you tend to find yourself
somewhat alone and helpless.
Apologies if you know all this already, just felt that I should warn you
in case you didn't know what you were in for.
