FC4 T2 and Dell M70

[Jamie Bohr]

Thank you for the responses. 

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.
