Yes, you can block the instruction page. However, I recommend you read it first!
Any lan cards that are activated will show up if you type ifconfig in a terminal.

to stop the browser from opening edit your .xinitrc file and put a pound (number symbol) in front of the line for dillo (or just delete the line).

for the ip address we would need a little more info. Where is the IP adress being displayed? In the slit or on the desktop using torsmo (if you are not sure which version of DSL are you using). If you are using torsmo edit your .torsmorc file to change what gets displayed. This file is documented pretty good so should be fairly easy to follow.

To quickly find out what the IP addresses are use the command sudo ifconfig. This will list all network interfaces.
