[Cube] connect cube to airport express?

I'll post a pretty picture of the network schema later but here's the idea :

Cube<->Ethernet port<->Ethernet Cable<->Airport Express<->Wifi network

In this mode, I can take full advantage of the 54Mb capacity of 11g from any ethernet capable computer.  There is currently no native (that is to say internal) 11g solution for the Cube that I know of, hence this approach.  USB won't cut it since it's slower, and even the cardbus hacks are limited in bandwidth, but the ethernet card is a 10/100 so the 54Mb of 11g becomes the bottleneck.

Cheers,

Erik
