You are correct, I believe. Thanks for your input. I had no idea where to even start looking for answers to this problem. But thanks to your post I did a little more digging and found my answers. Unfortunately, this also means that it looks like I am out of luck. At least for now.
I am running Android 2.1 right now. It sounds like 2.2 might support infrastructure mode (?). I am not sure about that. And even if it does, will it work when rooted or only with the paid 3G hotspot app that Verizon will include? Because then the Barnacle or Wireless Tether have to be rewritten to support that, right?
Or maybe B&N will update the NC to support ad-hoc mode? But for now, no wi-fi tethering to my phone. Oh well, no big loss. But at least my question has been answered. Karma to you.
