Can I hook up my ASICMiner Cube to my laptop via ethernet and still mine with the connection being through Wi-Fi? Been messing around with the settings and ports and have had no luck. All the forums and set-up guides have it connected through a router. Unfortunately, I cannot do this for the router is not in my place. Thank you for the help!
Yeah you'll need some kind of bridge adapter unless your laptop has two wireless cards.
Why not look into Raspberry Pi w/ a wireless dongle and use the Pi as your miner controller with linux? Probably easier/cheaper than managing bridged network connections. You also don't need to have your laptop around all the time either.
