High speed connection

[Jared Buck]

Ubuntu's normally recognized my connection via dhcp without a problem,
and it's an ADSL line.  So with some luck, the OS will recognize that
you're connected and configure it automatically.  Of course, as Frank
said, sometimes it won't recognize it.  Depends on your connection.
