  Probably not. I don't see relevant kernel module with
2.6.26.5-45.fc9.x86_64. But it is supported with Fedora 10 kernel.

  No idea.

  Soundcard in my Thinkpad T400 works with Fedora 10.
One more thing: until this week I couldn't install Fedora on my T400
because Intel graphic chip was too new and hung anaconda (and text mode
didn't offer LVM & crypt configuration). So maybe you should look into
installing Fedora 10 instead of 9.
