Did you check if the right modules were detected and loaded? If they did 
is just alsa needing to be unmuted...
If it didnt detect your sound card , probably it's a problem in kudzu or 
system-config-sound which needs to be bugzilled..

Maybe because of ECN? I dont know for sure , but looks like linksys 
hardware has issues with ECN...

Maybe this will work if you find the resolution for #2. I have a linksys 
router here and my computer that runs FC2t1 has a static IP working 
perfectly.

For the updates , I suggest yum... When this dependencies appear , I use 
a simple shell script I've made to update using yum.. It gets the list 
of all packages available , then does yum -y update package to all of 
them.. Those with broken deps fail and are left for the next update.. 
(Yes, I know this is not the best way , but I got tired of fighting with 
a update on up2date and yum some time ago...)
For the mailing list archives , I get a page from redhat saying that it 
timed out to contact the server... You can use 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fedora-list&r=1&w=2 to search the 
fedora-list and fedora-devel-list. It doesnt have fedora-test-list 
yet... Or you can use gmane.org . They have the archives for the three 
lists..
