Share the internet connection

English Network/Internet

I have 2 laptop with opensuse 11.2
One of them is connected to the Internet through a Mobile Connection with a CDMA/EDVO modem on the usb port.
I want to share the Internet connection with the other laptop through the wifi interface of each of them.
How should I proceed?

I haven’t done it myself but this can be achieved by:
(1) Connecting the laptop together in Ad-hoc mode. (Test this separately first).
(2) Setting up iptables for internet sharing.

Too hard.
More easy to install NetworkManager-gnome and purge NetworkManager-kde and put nm-applet to auto start.
Poor applet KNetworkManager. >:(
Sorry.
