OK you will need a CAT5 (or 6) cross over cable, then follow the instructions in the video link below, except you will select the WIFI card instead of a second network card.

The cross over cable will connect to your receiver, you select the WIFI card to connect to the network interface on the laptop, ICS must be setup on both.
