[360] Wireless ICS through ad-hoc mode?

So, I've been toying around with the idea of hooking my 360 up to a wireless network, just to make it easier if I want to move it into the living room or something. What I'm contemplating is this
I do not have a wireless router at my place. I do have an 802.11g card in my PC. I can set up the 802.11g card to run in ad-hoc mode, share the connection wirelessly through that, and connect to it from another PC as if it were a wireless network.
Has anyone tried doing this on a 360? Will it see the network, will I have to set it up manually, will it even work with a regular network adapter (i.e. not the microsoft one), etc?

...which I'd interpret as, yes, as long as your ad-hoc network is setup properly and there's a DHCP server (say, Windows ICS) the console will connect to the Internet. But as I mentioned, I don't own a 360 so don't take my word for it.
As for setting it up manually, yes, you'd have to do that with an ad-hoc network since there's no access point broadcasting the frequency and other networking details.
