I am trying to set up a home network. I live in a location without cable internet so I have a Verizon MiFi card.

I have a few laptops at the moment and they each connect through the card but I want to set up an Ubuntu 10.10 server and see if I can use it for DHCP.

I have a Trendnet TEG-S50G switch and the computer I plan to use for the server has a Linksys WMP-11 Wireless PCI card.

Is there any other equipment I need in order to get this to work? Is this even doable? Is there a better way to make this happen?
