I'm not sure what you are asking... If you want to use linksboks wirelessly you need a wireless internet connection to your xbox.  Get any wireless to ethernet bridge, like the linksys WET11 and set that up to get on any wireless network in your area.  If this is for a car show or something you can run the linksys WET11 antenna out of the trunk with a trunk mount and have the circuit of the wet11 inside the xbox.    <

Or spend ~$50 USD on a WRT54G Linksys router, pop it in your car and just have the XBox hook up to the router with cat5 wire.  You can use the router w/an attenae (car mounte ~$25-30 USD) and the router will in turn connect to any wireless APs you come across.    <

you have to use a 'hacked' firmware to give the router 'bridging' abilities though... If im reading your post correctly

I believe the WRT54G bridges ethernet and wireless interfaces by default (own one myself), but you indeed have to flash your firmware to make it able to act as a wireless client instead of an Access Point, or use it in 'ad-hoc' mode.
Don't expect huge ranges though.

And if you really make it work in your car, I want a photo
