No, very simple: Plug in UMTS Stick and WLAN Pcmcia card, connect mobile 
broadband via NetworkManager and then create a new WLAN network also via 
NetworkManager like it is explained in 
http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/10/16/video-fedora-10-connection-sharing/ .
It automatically adds DNS forwarding via dnsmasq (,I guess).

And, how I said, it works with WEP64 but not with with WPA.
