If you want to go the easy way, take an Ethernet modem - connection to
Internet is a child's play. USB modems can be more of a chance, depending
on whether the appropriate driver is available.
Things you may want to look at are "gateway", "ipfw" and "jail" if some
services need to be protected (http server, mail, etc.)
If you want state-of-the-art security, 2 network cards would be ideal
but for a home network, you can easily get away with 1.
Cheers
Olivier
