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 ?
