[Nolug] OT: AirPort Express question

Heya,

    I just moved into a new apartment and I am trying to get my network
set up.

    Now there is wireless internet available here, but I dont have a
wireless card for my desktop. I do have an AirPort Express base station
though. Is it possible to do something like this:

    desktop --ethernet--> airport --wireless--> wireless internet

    I have an old mac laptop with a wireless card, which can do
something like this:

    desktop --ethernet--> hub --ethernet--> laptop --wireless-->wireless
internet

    I know I could cut out the hub part with a crossover cable, but I
dont have any sitting around and the whole point is that I dont want to
use the laptop for that.

    Basically I am looking for an easy, non-completely-ghetto way of
accessing the available wireless without buying a wireless card =(

    - Fritz
