Sound: I used alsamixer and found the speakers in the front of my computer are NOT working, I get sounds through the head phones only - very strange.
Wireless: Started working after installing the RPM mentioned above, I had to reboot twice though. I don't see a WPA security option though. I will scan the Internet to see if I can solve this one.

This wireless card should be supported, its driven by the "ipw2200"
driver. You need firmware however, which is not able to be distributed
with Fedora Core. See:
http://atrpms.net/dist/common/ipw2200-firmware/
Install the top RPM, the 2.2-5 one.

OR, download the file here and place it in /lib/firmware
