That's very possible. Fedora has drivers for some wireless cards and not for
others, and even if there is a driver you probably need to tell Fedora to
connect to the access point.
Do you have any way of plugging in a network cable? Wired networking is much
more likely to work out of the box. Then use that until you get your graphics
working, so you'll have a nice GUI environment to work in when trying to get
wireless to work.
You could also download the graphics driver manually in Windows and then
reboot to Fedora and pick the files up from the Windows partition. That may
be tedious however, as you may have to go back to Windows several times to
download more packages that the driver package depends on.
