I think it's irrelevant. The problem with wireless cards is transmission on unauthorized frequencies on open air, and your example involves reception on the cable. Both the media and the mode of operation are different.

Don't use strong word as illegal. Do you see authorities that enforces such rules? (and IANAL, AFAIK frequencies are not defined in laws but in very low level of legal hierarchy.) So should it be illegal to use your wireless connection on your laptop outside your country?

I didn't use the word "illegal". "unauthorized" doesn't necessarily imply that it's against the law.
