Make sure you get a broadband router that connects via
ethernet (not USB). Then it is simply a matter of
establishing an ethernet connection between the router
and your computer (insmod, ifconfig, etc.).

Many ADSL routers have a DHCP server, so you can set the
address for your computer by doing udhcpc. Alternatively,
you can use ifconfig to set a static address (if you know
the address of the ADSL router). For example, if the
address of the router is 192.168.0.1, you can do:
-------------------------
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2
ping 192.168.0.1
-------------------------
In order to get internet access via an ADSL router (or any
other internet gateway), you need to set a default route.
What this does is route all non-local traffic to the specified
address (i.e. the ADSL router).
--------------------------------
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
--------------------------------

Cheers,
Steven
