Save yourself a lot of trouble and go with an ISP that will sell you the
ADSL with a decent ADSL-Router box, or will sell it to you wires-only
(ie you buy the router).   

ADSL Routers start from just 40 quid and will be guaranteed to work with
every operating system, you get connection sharing at the same time for
free, and optional wifi for just a little extra.

Flavour of the month seems to be PlusNet http://www.plus.net
they offer a selection of speeds, and choice of modem/router/none
