Maybe you could change the MAC-address of the Wireless card (or bridge?)
to the MAC-address of the gateway in the network? That way your NIC will
accept all traffic going to and from the gateway (and you because you
have the same MAC-address). Because the MAC-adress in those packets is
the same as your MAC-address it'll accept the packets. Although there
migh be some conflicts, maybe you could also turn off ARP on your
computer so it doesn't confuse the rest of the network.
