Scenario:
In my student hostel I connect to internet using the following steps
1. Connect to the Hidden WLAN
2. Make a pppoe Connection to get Internet access.
I have a PCI Wlan Card in my desktop machine and one USB WLAN adapter.
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 on the desktop computer.

Problem:
I want to use internet on my desktop and laptop both at the same time. But pppoe does not allow to use in this way.

Can someone please  guide how can i use the WLAN USB Stick to create a local WLAN and allow my to connect to this wlan from laptop or my phone.

Thanks
