If you just want to temporarily share then I think "access point" is 
unimportant - can't you use "ad hoc" mode?

"Access point" means getting a wifi card which supports master mode. Not all 
do. 

I question whether this is worth the bother - routers are just too cheap. 

If you want to do something complicated, which is not available in the menus of 
your $20 wifi router, then run OpenWRT Linux on a $40 router.

The extra cost of a recent router will quickly pay for itself in electricity 
savings, over leaving your big desktop PC on when you only want to surf the net 
on your netbook.

Stroller.
