This is a FAQ. See:
http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/Bridge#I_still_don.27t_understand.21.21
Easy solution:
Don't bridge. Route or NAT through the notebook.
Harder solution:
Build your own AP and use a WDS link between the laptop and the AP.
Workable but not a 'plug and chug' solution. ;-)
Have Fun,
