Maybe I'm missing something, but why would you possibly want the laptop
to do NAT? Isn't your router or something else already doing that for
your laptop traffic?

So, why not just get linux or mac osx or whatever to bridge the wifi +
ethernet, and then your sip phone will just talk to the network like
normal...

Just my thoughts ...
