Computer 1 has a wifi card. Computer 2 doesn't, but you want to connect it to the internet. Can you hook up computer 1 and 2 via an ethernet cable and then set up a network so that computer 2 is using the wifi of computer 1?

Without being sure about your overall setup:

Look into ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) with respect to Computer 1.

And then look into Bridging between Computer 1 and Computer 2.

Details matter. Your requirements are clear enough - just not sure if what you have to work with will work.
