As it is, it didn't work. Here is what i did:

Code:
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 key s:<my-key>
iwconfig wlan0 essid <my-essid>
dhclient wlan0

All these commands proceeded without error, but there was still no wireless connection after that.

For sound, you could try the following in /etc/modprode.d/sound (or whatever filename is appropriate on fedora)
I found a file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and modified it according to your suggestions. In fact it had a single line "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1" already in it.

Alas "update-modules" is not available on my system. I investigated and to my current information it is a tool solely used on S390 systems. If it is available on PC systems too where can i download it? Anyway, i rebooted, which should have the same effect but still no luck with the sound.

You can run a command line speaker test with
Code:
speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav

I ran this command but it hangs indefinitely:

Code:
[root@mysystem ~]# speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav

speaker-test 1.0.18

Playback device is plug:front
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
WAV file(s)
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 64 to 16384
Period size range from 32 to 8192
Using max buffer size 16384
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 4096
was set buffer_size = 16384
 0 - Front Left
