You should be able to get the latest kernel by just doing "yum update" 
as long as you have another way to get on-line with the system (wire, 
built-in wireless and ndiswrapper).  If not, you may want to look into 
pulling down the iso images for one of the unofficial FC4 updates that 
are available.
