I just downloaded the latest version of ubuntu 11.04 and all i can say is "absolutely cool". But I've encountered some problem connecting in the internet because of my firming is missing so what i just did was i used my USB broadband stick. Here's how to install the USB type broadband :
Setup Instructions
2. Right click the Network Manager icon (Desktop: top right panel)If Ubuntu's able to recognize the device.If you see the device (just like below) Click it.
3. The Set up Mobile Broadband Connection wizard will appear. Just click Forward.
4. Next, choose choose the country of your provider then Click forward.
5. Of course in order to run your broadband you have to "select you service provider".
6.Choose your Billing Plan – it's crucial to identify the type of sim card inserted in the modem in order to determine the correct APN (Access Point Name) to use. APN will vary by billing plan; postpaid or prepaid.
Setting the wrong APN will prevent connectivity, to avoid this, the best thing to do is to set the APN manually rather than selecting the default.
To manually set the APN, click the drop down button, then select My plan is not listed.
