connect Ethernet to WiFi?

2016-02-18 Thread Staszek
Hi How do I connect an old laptop without WiFi (but with free USB ports and working wired Ethernet card) running Debian stable to a WiFi network, without installing non-free software on the laptop? What devices would you recommend? -- http://people.eisenbits.com/~stf/ http://www.eisenbits.com/
