yes.
Your going to need to buy a wireless rotuer or a wireless access point regardless. The laptop can be the router but you would still need to plug in the access point or wireless router to get a single. You cant turn the laptop into the device that produces the wireless signal.
Make sense?
It would look like this
Yes
[laptop](router) -> [wireless router or access point] -> PC
No
[router] -> [laptop](wireless access point) -> PC
Make sense?

if you ran an ad hoc wireless network, you could get away without a WAP. Ad hoc just lets all the nodes talk directly to each other... and as long as you put the node with the network connection as your default gateway and have it properly routing and acting as NAT point, it should work that way too.
I'm taking a Cisco wireless course right now. :p

K, so its not so much a savings benefit, but a gain in performance.
