I empathise with you. This is any one of the biggest challenges after
getting it installed - get an internet connection working, especially
modems. Without that, one cannot go far.
After doing a reinstall, I had to dash off to an internet cafe just to
get four libraries I needed to get my datacard to work.
Perhaps this would be a recommendation to Ubuntu: make as many packages
available on the cd that would facilitate users connecting to the
internet.
Needless to say this is like a teething issue. Once you are over it,
there is no way looking back.
