Oh and Eric is right that it should just work if you have eth0 set to use DHCP and that should have been done by the ubuntu installation (presuming it was connected then).  I asked about it working with windows solely to verify the DSL modem was in fact working.

That should function as a DHCP server just fine.

Simply configure your linux ip interface (eth0 most likely) to use DHCP
(whatever gui configurator should do just fine), and you should be good to
go. There is nothing 'fancy' here.

P.S. You'll probably want to go into the Actiontec's configuration
(http://192.168.1.1 most likely, or some 192.168.n.1 address - check the
manual) and lock down the wireless portion, unless of course you want to
share your network and bandwidth with your neighbors. I don't know if that
model defaults to open wireless or not, but many WAPs do.
