First, you'll need the network adaptor like this one.

Then you have to plug the adaptor's ethernet cable into a broadband source. You can do this a variety of ways:
1. Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) with a PC. The ethernet would connect to the PC I believe and share the broadband.
2. Plug the network adaptor into a router.
3. Use a wireless bridge.

Whichever method you choose, be prepared for some swearing. I nearly became a qualified network tech, just trying to get my ps2 online. I did it using method 3 in the end.

Playstation forums here have a lot of useful information.
