I am able to broadcast a wireless signal from my iPhone to my laptop using an ad-hoc network. Unfortunately, PS3 does not recognize ad-hoc networks so I am unable to use this wireless connection.
My initial attempt to connect was as follows:
Allow my Windows 7 laptop to connect to the internet using USB tether to my iPhone (with MyWi software). This works and does not use any wireless signal from my laptop itself. I then tried to bridge both the wireless and LAN connections to an ethernet connected PS3 but nothing seems to work. The connection to my PS3 comes in and out frequently as if it is trying to find an internet signal, fails, the disconnects.
Has anybody had luck with this in the past?

With iOS 4.3 you can setup a wireless hotspot with your iphone. Look for "Personal Hotspot" and activate it. The PS3 can then connect to the iPhone wich is the access point.
