I have 2 hotspots in my building on separate networks, using the same 
internet line.

I connected out cable modem to a hub, and let both Linksys WRT54G's grab 
dhcp addresses from the cable modem, then each linksys uses a separate 
network.

I assume you can do the same with 1 wired network, and 1 wireless.
