What if the computer you want to log in on doesn't have a WiFi chip?

It doesn't have to be an old computer; for instance, the desktop computer I built last year uses a wired gigabit Ethernet connection to the router right next to it, and doesn't have (or need) any WiFi or Bluetooth chip.

The computer I just replaced had neither wifi nor bluetooth. It was a desktop device and had no use for either.
