This should work.  it's very similar to some VPNs I've setup, the only
difference being that there's a real wireless link, instead of a VPN between
two otherwise disconnected networks - but the routing is the same.

Yep, the IP masquerade needs to be done where the ADSL connection is, and
Linux running PPPoE will fit the bill there. :)
