Not free, but works and is easy... Kyocera Kr1 router
http://www.kyocera-wireless.com/kr1-router/
takes the evdo card, and you just plug the output from the kr1 to the lan
plugs on the dlink (not the wan).
As for the ics problem, some (but not all) cards/software disable (screw up)
sharing/network/ICS connections (so you can't share a connection)....The
external kyo router solves that prob...
basic idea was to have the wireless network stand on it's own (ie didn't
have to change the netwok itself), and let me plug in any connection to it
(dsl/cable/sat/cellular/dialup/etc)
