So how do they share the hotel wireless to two laptops with that?

* Get a wireless router that has Client Mode and can share it via it's
4-port LAN switch. And if you add an Access Point (or another wireless
router) you can share it wireless as well. This can be done with
after-market firmware like DD-WRT.

Might cost you $150 or so, and some time to flash firmware on one of them.
But then you have a neat "kit" that can share any WiFi anywhere with 3 wired
laptops and a few wireless laptops as well. Then you truly will be
Crumbleavable.

(No Kraft Crumbles were damaged in the processing of this posting.)
