if you run a program called 'Connectify' ( http://www.connectify.me/ ) on the computer that is hardwired to the external antenna, the inbuilt wifi card in the laptop will transmit a local wifi network (which you can secure if you want) which other wifi devices can connect to and share the connection that the hard wired machine is using.
