The broadband login you perform on your laptop, is it part of establishing a PPoE connection? If so, you may be out of luck. Maemo does not support PPPoE over WLAN.

If that doesn't put you off purchasing a N900, you'll need to look into having another device--a router or your laptop--make the broadband connection for you and then share that connection out to your N900.

You can see the thread "How to create a PPPoE WLAN (WiFi dialup) connection?" for previous discussion of this issue, though there aren't any easy solutions within.
