You have to have a router.  The public Internet is not Wireless.  Somewhere 
there is a wire and a router.  Unless you are doing this from a park bench or 
an Internet Cafe...  Or "stealing" your neighbor's WiFi.

What do you have for an ISP?  Cable? FIOS? DSL? Municipal Fiber? Or something 
else?

*Every* WiFi router *I* have *ever* seen includes a 4-port Etherswitch,

Yes, it is *possible* to use your Ubuntu laptop as a router, but getting it 
ALL setup properly is not trivial.  Some of it requires some Linux admin 
magic.  It appears you are not quite there.

Note: the USB Internet provided by the BBB is not really intended for much 
more than basic setup.

If it really is impossible to get a hard network connection, you might have to 
get a USB wireless dongle.  The BBB does have a USB A connector that is a USB 
host.
