You need to bridge both eth0 and [assumed it is] wlan0 as, say, br0. If you know how bridging works, then it'll be trivial for you. Otherwise tell us what your wireless stack is (wpa_supplicant, ...) and if you're using OpenRC or systemd.

One way is to bridge 2 devices to make your laptop work as an ethernet switch (use brctl to do that)
Another way it to make it act as router using iptables nat with masquerade and ip forwarding in kernel. Which one suits you better deppedns on how many IP adresses you want for those computers. IP routing allows you hide local network and pretend its' only 1 computer. Bridging allows eassier access from the internet |
