Is it possible to take the connection to my DSL and make it wireless and split the connection between my computer and Xbox? The place where I use my Xbox is too far away to run a wire from a normal ethernet hub. But I think that to have a wireless DSL connection you need a card in your computer and a card wouldnt fit with an xbox... Any help out there?

Technically, it's possible. But does wireless Ethernet work well for gaming? I've never heard the answer to that question.

Yup, there are several on the beta boards alone that use the wireless bridge with a wireless router to connect the Xbox.
