PS3 originally had 4 USB ports and after a few models they all came with 2 USB ports. The PS3 never had a model with a single USB port and the early models with 4 USB ports are the ones that play some PS2 game titles. The production of any 4 USB port model ended with the 2 USB port 80 GB PS3 model release in August 2008.

The USB cable that comes with the PS3 is to allow charging of the controller and also playing with an uncharged controller. It is also used for the controller to become recognizable by the PS3 and develop the initial connection needed for the blue tooth system. It is also used when optional controllers are added to the PS3. Up to seven controllers can be operated with the blue tooth system after the PS3 has recognized them

If your ps3 controller does not connect from pressing the PS button, then you have to plug it in with the cord that came with your ps3 directly in the USB port located in the front of the ps3. Once it connects, you can then unplug it and play wireless. In future times, you can start your ps3 by pressing the PS button, although their may be the occasional times that you will have to plug in the controller.

If you get a cord with a usb slot on each side can you plug one end into a PS3 and the other into a laptop with a wireless card and then the PS3 has internet?

The PlayStation can not use the USB for an internet connection. The only way the PS3 can have an internet connection is with the WiFi or from the ethernet cable A PS3 has a wireless card inbuilt, I believe, so there shouldn't be a need for this.
