Could you borrow someone's laptop to bridge internet access from? Everything's a pain until you have a cable.
Ethernet adapters are much easier to configure than wireless ones. They're usually wholly built into the kernel and autodetect. Wifi drivers usually require external firmware to operate.

bridge
BRIDGE(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual BRIDGE(4)
NAME
bridge -- network bridge device
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device bridge
DESCRIPTION
The bridge driver creates a logical link between two or more IEEE 802 networks that use the same (or ``similar enough'') framing format. For
example, it is possible to bridge Ethernet and 802.11 networks together, but it is not possible to bridge Ethernet and Token Ring together.
To use bridge, the administrator must first create the interface and configure the bridge parameters. The bridge is created using the
ifconfig(8) create subcommand. The learning and forwarding behavior and other parameters of a bridge are configured by the brconfig(8) util-
ity.
A bridge can be used to provide several services, such as a simple 802.11-to-Ethernet bridge for wireless hosts, and traffic isolation.
A bridge works like a switch, forwarding traffic from one interface to another. Multicast and broadcast packets are always forwarded to all
interfaces that are part of the bridge. For unicast traffic, the bridge learns which MAC addresses are associated with which interfaces and
will forward the traffic selectively.
The bridge driver implements the IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree protocol (STP). Spanning Tree is used to detect and remove loops in a network
topology.
Transparent filtering for IP and IPv6 packets can be added with the kernel configuration option options BRIDGE_IPF.
When filtering is enabled, bridged packets will pass through the filter inbound on the originating interface and outbound on the appropriate
interfaces. ARP and REVARP packets are forwarded without being filtered and others that are not IP nor IPv6 packets are not forwarded when
filtering is enabled.
Note that packets to and from the bridging host will be seen by the filter on the interface with the appropriate address configured as well
as on the interface on which the packet arrives or departs.
SEE ALSO
etherip(4), options(4), brconfig(8), ipf(8)
HISTORY
The bridge driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.6.
AUTHORS
The bridge driver was originally written by Jason L. Wright <jason@thought.net> as part of an undergraduate independent study at the Univer-
sity of North Carolina at Greensboro.
This version of the bridge driver has been heavily modified from the original version by Jason R. Thorpe <thorpej@wasabisystems.com>.
BUGS
The bridge driver currently supports only Ethernet and Ethernet-like (e.g. 802.11) network devices, with exactly the same interface MTU size
as the bridge device.
The bridge driver currently does not support snooping via bpf(4).
