John,
	Depending on your linux distro, most modern ones set up a connection to your 
router and the internet for you automatically. You may have to log in to your 
router, normally via a web browser, address something like 192.168.x.1 to 
give permissions for your linux box address  (maybe 192.168.x.4) to connet to 
the internet.  However, I have seen on some linux user sites, where people 
have stated that some adsl modems and routers don't work with linux. I can't 
say if that is a true fact though, or that it is more difficult to set up 
certain routers.
	I have a netgear router, SuSE and Libranet distro's on my machine, no 
problems, it found the router and cards ok, connection to the internet right 
away after a install.
