I just installed fedora Core 4 (64 bit version) on my laptop Compaq r4000 with the following specs and am a relatively new in Linux

AMD Athlon 64 3500+
512MB DDR RAM
100GB 4200RPM
ATI Radeon Xpress 200M IGP With 128MB
Realtek 8139 NIC
54g 802.11b/g WLAN

The installation worked fine but I cnat seem to connect to the internet. Fedora recognizes my NIC which is connected to ISP router but in the startup I get a message of FAILED when It tries to resolve IP addresses or something of that sort. Fedora does not recognize my WLAN. I think I require updated 64 bit version of the drivers for both these devices. Plaese tell me how to go about getting them and how to connect to the internet.
