[NTLUG:Discuss] A potentially useful thing

As the rule goes, if I were to think of it, it has either already been 
done or has already been proven to be a bad idea or a waste of time.  My 
guess is, in this case, it has already been done.

I'm in Japan at the moment.  I'm running Fedora 9 on my laptop.  I'm 
connected wired.  I have a blackberry phone that is WiFi enabled and is 
supposed to be able to make voice calls using the WiFi link.  At the 
moment, I cannot though I can get my email and stuff.

I'd like to turn my laptop into a wireless gateway that, I hope, will 
also enable me to make phone calls.

Anyone have any ideas about what I need to do to turn my wireless 
network device into a wireless access point?  I would especially favor 
anything that doesn't necessarily require a lot of destructive 
configurations and such.
