I want to link a distant pc without a wireless card to my home network
using network cable connected into a wifi "repeater"

Don't, use a proper Wifi card or Dongle. Repeaters retransmit on the
same channel, halving the network bandwidth. The Belkin one I tried
never worked at all and I used HomePlug adapters instead.

I'm reading that he really means "bridge" and not "repeater" as the PC does
not have WiFi currently...

Wi-Fi dongles are a fiver on Ebay. I assume the PC has USB.
