How much Router do you need to have it act as an External NIC?

(If it can be done at all.)

I keep seeing ref to AP as in Access Point, but I think I'm talking
something else.

What I'm wondering about is a setup where a standalone system with a
built in 10/100baseT interface plugged into an external 80211g wireless
router which in turn connects to another wireless router which is in
turn on the Internet via a DSL Modem.


Computer(nic)--WifiRouter1 <--> WifiRouter2--Modem--Internet

This is different than having a computer on the Internet adn plugging a
wireless Router into it, allowing farther out wireless systems to
connect through that PC.

Instead it's using a combination 10/100bT-wifi router combo instead of a
wifi PCI NIC.

what brands and models are the 2 routers? the key is can #1 act as
an "access point client"? or you could buy a wireless gaming
adapter.
