Fedora Core questions

Hi
I have few questions about Fedora:
1) I have installed Fedora Core 2 to my laptop (Acer Ferrari 3200 AMD
64-bit), but network does not work. I have NetXtreme BCM5788 Gigabit
-network card. Network configuration tells that status is ok, but when i
try to activate my network, it does not find IP-addresses (DHCP).
I have WinXp in same laptop in different partition and there are no
problems with network.
2) Is it possible to get WLAN working ? I have 802.11g mini-PCI module.
3) How to read/write USB-storages ? (For example Kingston 256 MB).
Does this work automically ? What and where i have to mount ?
I can see in /proc/bus/usb all four USB:s (001 002 003 004)
4) I also tried to install Fecora Core 3 (64-bit) to my laptop and it
does not work at all. Soon after booting from first CD and after
pressing "any key", display goes dark and my laptop is totally stucked.
Anyone knows something problems like that ?

From a previous post in a Linux Ng , here is how to find the right USB
device and mount it.

Look in /var/log/messages for something like this:
Sep 15 21:44:37 zaphod kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.7-5, assigned
address 5
Sep 15 21:44:41 zaphod /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usb-storage for USB
product 117/117/100
Sep 15 21:44:42 zaphod kernel: SCSI device sda: 251904 512-byte hdwr sectors
(129 MB)
Sep 15 21:44:42 zaphod kernel: sda: Write Protect is off
Sep 15 21:44:42 zaphod kernel: sda: sda4
Then (in this case):
jbuchana@zaphod$ sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/flash
Password:
jbuchana@zaphod$ df -l | grep flash
/dev/sda4 125672 24026 101646 20% /mnt/flash
jbuchana@zaphod$

When i try to connect my USB-storage to the USB-port,
/var/log/messages tells:
kernel: usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using address 4
kernel: usb 1-3: control timeout on ep0out
kernel: usb 1-3: control timeout on ep0out
kernel: usb 1-3: device not accepting address 4, error -110
I also tried to mount /dev/sda1 - /dev/sda4..
Something does not work or something should do ?

Mmmm ,
Have you created a mount point for your flash drive ?
You will need to create a directory in /mnt
i.e
mkdir /mnt/flash
And then :
plug the drive in to get the message something like :
SCSI device sdb: ....
sdb : assuming write enabled
Attached scsi removable disk sdb at ...............
Then mount the drive using :
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
( try using sda1 .... sda4 , sdb1 .....sdb4 )
Note : you will have to mount the drive as root and when you try to unmount
it and you get a "busy signal" , return back to /root directory and try
again.

I have FC2 also in my desktop-computer and there are no problems with
USB-storage. I can read and write without problems.
My mount command in desktop is: mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/flash
But my laptop-computer does not tell in /var/log/messages-file, which
is mount point (for example /dev/sdc1). There are only error-message.
