If you install an Ethernet card all you typically need to do is to ensure DHCP is setup to the broadband router connection, if you are using a dial-up type broadband 'modem' then you will need to install and configure third-party dialer application specific to that modem's manufacturer and with the correct protocol (typically PPPoE or PPPoA), Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI), and the correct encapsulation profile. These are provided by the ISP and are usually set by default in their dialer software version.
