So, just to check I have this right:
Laptop <wireless > ADSL Router <Ethernet> Desktop
Enable and configure ICS on desktop.
When Broadband installed, remove ICS settings and share ADSL connection from router.
This would mean that the Desktop has to be powered up all the time that he wants to access the internet from the laptop, that's right isn't it?

Sounds about right to me.
Note - most modern laptops have a built-in modem, so if he's only using one at a time you could create a dial-up connection on the laptop with the same details as the PC and plug it in to the nearest home phone socket!
