I don't understand excactly what you want.

You want to make a bridge to share the wireless network with the one to your ps2?  Then go Control Panel=>Network Conecction and then select the two connections you want to bridge right click and bridge connections.

I think this is more likely you want to do than use internet signals from both sp2 and wireless.  If it is this you want then I'll believe no setup is nessecary.

You want to use 2 in signals or to let one go in and one go out.

I've just done a bridge on mine, and apart from it kicking me off MSN Messenger and GoogleTalk (as the bridge was activated), it's all working fine. True, I don't have anything connected to the wired card, but the bridge hasn't stopped me from using the 'Net.

Make sure your internet connection works, then get a cross-over ethernet cable and connect it to your PS2. Then, just go in and create a Network Bridge by selecting them both in Network Connections, right clicking and clicking bridge.

A Cross-Over ethernet cable is a normal ethernet cable with the "In" and "Out" wires swapped in the middle. This means it can be used to directly connect two computers (a normal cable would send In from one computer to the other computers' In wire, and Out to the other computers' Out wire.)
