Righty. I have, in my ickle games room, a PC fitted with a Wireless PCI card (the modem is downstairs due to faulty extension cable) and my consoles.
Is it possible to use a crossover cable to hook my Xbox up to my PC, ICS style, and have it access Xbox Live via the wireless PCI card?
Hope that's descriptive enough.
Thanks

It's a 802.11g which should be more than enough, right?
Would I need to enable ICS? Or just select the option that allows other computers to connect to the net via this one?

It should work Bullett.
Just make sure that you have decent ping times on the wireless connection.

the modem is downstairs, plugged into the wall.
My PC is accessing that via a wireless PCI card. I could use a bridge, but want to see if my Xbox could utilise the PCI card within my PC to access LIVE.
Kind of like my PC acting as a Bridge, via crossover to the Xbox.

Just reading that back, if your Xbox is hooked up to your PC via crossover, why would you need Wireless? I have an idea what I tkink you mean but surely if you connected your Xbox to the PC via a wire it would make the wireless idea void.
If you are trying to do what I think then my original response stands, the only way is Bridge I think.

Can't you RMA the bridge if it's faulty? What make is it?
:(
I have a bridge but it's a fiddly little bas. The ethernet cable won't be picked up unless I jam something under it so it's pushing right against the contacts.
Just wanted to see if the option proposed would have allowed me to stop using that piece of crap.
Oh well.

Me thinks you will need a Bridge. Tried doing that method only using wireless USB adapters with a printer but it failed.
