ISP's aren't linux friendly or linux unfriendly; networking is operating system agnostic. Please try logging into your HomeHub through http://192.168.1.254 and checking your laptop is listed in the Devices (or similar) section, click on the device icon if present to see if your laptop has an IP address from the HomeHub, if so check that it has not been blocked from accessing the internet in the Access (or similar) section. If these two dialogs show nothing unusual set your DNS addresses through NetworkManager to addresses quoted on OpenDNS.com. Have you tried approaching BT for help? It may be a faulty HomeHub, many of the white HomeHubs have myriad problems. The new black ones are much more reliable.

I have two reasons for preferring this: one, I imagine it is better set-up procedure in general, to configure ports in advance before connecting them (if they are not self-configuring), and two, this Home Hub is exceedingly prone to mental indigestion, requiring from time to time a hard reset to factory condition, and a wait of an hour or more to stabilise itself. I would consider switching to a Linux-friendly ISP, which would provide a Linux-friendly router, if there is such a thing. As to the ports it has, this is the spec.: http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux-notebook-lc2430s.html and, as you can see, it has one RJ-45 Ethernet port and 3 USB 2.0 ports.
