Hey,
First of all, if you're new to linux, i recommend sacking off Fedora and using Ubuntu. Easier, more things are supported "out of the box" and less bloated.
If you do chose to stick with Fedora (and linux as a whole), don't expect things to just work.... Especially wireless. A quick google however (which you should always turn to first), has shown me that your wireless card works out of the box on Ubuntu.

Secondly, get an ethernet cable and plug into your router and update all your software. Linux is really hard to get going without a working internet connection.
Thirdly, don't just expect people to help. Linux is not Windows. Things will not just work. Put some personnel effort in first of all, and if you expect people to give supportive comments, at least write a good post....
