With Wireless cards you do not need a switch( or accesspoint). You can just set them up in Ad-Hoc mode. I do this regularly at work to share an internet connection.

Also, I would b epretty sure the laptop would have a network connection as most laptops from the last 3 years have them as standard. I have some spare PCI cards which OP can have one of for free. So £2-3 for a X-over cable is all that is required.

Using a Digi camera is Ok as an occasional method but not for regular use.
