I want a setup such as at

<http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/index.html> to that
end. However, there are just two machines, the gateway and a
secondary.
There's also a diagram at
<http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ipmasq-background2.5.html>.
The gateway (?) is arrakis, the other machine is geidi_prime. Arrakis
has a wireless connection, so geidi_prime needs to connect via arrakis
for the internet.
The two computers will probably be 20+feet apart. Would it make more
sense to use a hub or crossover cable?
Yes, use a hub. Then when Caladan, Ix, Draconus_IV, Salusa_Secundus,
and finally Tleiax enter your network, they too can be connected to
the Spacing Guild as well. ; )
Then, if you want various transient satellites (wireless laptops,
perhaps) to use wireless, then I'd have a cable from the hub to a
wireless hub. Try to keep that wireless access point secured though.
It might be better to keep a firewall in between the wireless access
point and the rest of your network just to keep things secure. A
hardware firewall, of course. I don't place much faith in software
ones. But that's your decision. I just said how I'd build a network
given that objective of setup.
Hope you find something that works!
