add the OpenLayers plugin via the openlayers git repository:
http://qgis.org/git/openlayers.git
and you can add OpenStreetMaps, Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc., map layers. See:
<http://hub.qgis.org/projects/openlayers>
<http://openlayers.org/>
<http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/>
Also add the OpenstreetMap plugin via the main QGIS repository.
