Default Getting Sprint USB Wireless Network Adapter to work w/ WirelessRouter

My friend at work pays for Sprint's wireless broadband service and has
a Ovation U727 Novatel Wireless USB Adapter he plugs into his laptop
to access the interent.

My boss will let him use his laptop and wireless adapter to use the
internet, it's the only someone at our company can because access to
the internet has be cut off for almost every department.

QUESTION:
I have a laptop as well and would like to be able to access his
connection by hooking up a wireless router to his computer. Is this
possible, has someone else done it this way, and if yes what would be
the best way of going about it?

I do have a USB to Ethernet adapter, but something tells me I'll need
more than that to get it to work. HELP ME PLEASE!

He would need a wireless adapter in ad hoc mode and ICS (Internet
Connection Sharing). Your wireless adapter would also need to be in ad
hoc mode.
