Currently, makenode assumes that a node has a wired internet connection to dig a tunnel to the exit node.
Suggested, via mailing list (see below), is to add configuration to allow nodes to dig tunnels through a wireless access point connection (e.g., hotspot)
We had a request for how to connect a home node to internet via wifi instead of via ethernet. This is not currently supported using the built-in web ui so i wrote up a short guide:

I'll either improve it a bit and add to wiki or maybe turn it into a script.
