Networking Question

So I'm thinking of making the Blasphemous choice of getting a 360, mostly so I can play Splinter Cell Conviction(especially the Co-op with splitscreen).

Now the issue is, I don't want to dish out $99 for their wireless adapter. Especially since I don't plan on paying for a paid subscription to xbox live. But I would like the ability to patch my games.

I live with my girlfriend and her sister, the router for the internet is in the sisters room across the hall. I want to run an ethernet cable from the router to the console just as much as I want to spend 99 dollars on a wireless adapter(which is not very much at all).

My laptop which is near the tv and where the console will be, has a built in wireless adapter. Is there anyway I could run a wired connection from the laptop to the 360 and use the laptop as the wireless adapter?
