This is real simple and easy. All you got to do is create a p2p network and your good to go.

 go to ubuntu's website, wierdly enough it's www.ubuntu.com and navigate to download the version that is right for you. I have ubuntu installed on a 4gb memory stick so it's portable

you should rename this to: How to set up a wireless bridge in Linux

Does NM take care of setting up bridging or NAT so other wireless devices can actually use the internet or do you have to configure that separately?

I think everything is taken care of.
