Default Wizard as WLAN-card

I'm wondering if it is possible to have the Wizard function as a wifi-adapter in for instance Windows XP through USB, so you can hook up your phone to a usb port and Windows 'sees' it as a network device allowing you to set up a wireless connection through it.

Has anyone seen a tool for accomplishing this? I searched the forums, but did not find anything useful, mainly things about the wizard being unable to connect and stuff

Thanks in advance.

I didn't mean it that way, maybe I was a bit unclear What I meant was using the phone as something that shows up in "network connection" on the pc, i.e. a 'wireless network adapter'.

Default wm5torage does similar

it captures the usb and turns the wizard card reader to a device like those multicard readers. Something that captures the wifi device on the wizard and introduces to a computer though usb like a wifi usb stick might be possible, as well as the camera as a webcam or any other device on the pda (as long as the device is not used by the os at all times). But some hacker should get interested in this I guess... I know which wifi wizard uses it should be tnet

would be a nice feature...they already have progs that let you use the camera was a webcam as well...even a wireless webcam...wm5torage does a good job of being a memory stick...wifi card would be interesting...

no. he means using your phone as a wireless network card in your pc.

example :
-----------

you have 2 computers at home, one has a wireless network card the other does not.

you plug your phone into the pc without a network card. and connect to the wireless pc using your phone as a wireless network card.

not sharing internet between phone and pc or between 2 pda's.

using your pc to connect to other pc's, with your phone acting as a wireless network card.

basicly turning your PDA into a wireless USB network adapter....

This would be really usefull, and if someone knows a method please post it.

So that's what I say.
The "Internet Sharing" program in WM6 actually appears as a virtual network connection in host PC which provides gateway connection with a IP of 192.168.0.x (Just like using ICS). However it is available for GPRS connection only.
