My microphone seems to be working fine in FC2.  Didn't have to do 
anything to get it in that state either.

Broken?  How so?  If I'm in a GNOME session, and put a CD or DVD in, it 
gets mounted.  If I'm not and type "mount /mnt/cdrom", it gets mounted. 
 What's broken?

Not that I ever even bother with up2date (yum update is so much 
simpler), but what pray tell, is wrong with it?

Now what would be really useful?  Pre-packaged, distributed on the 
standard media, not a 3rd party download, RPMs of some of the more 
"exotic" WLAN drivers, such as madwifi, ipw2100, ipw2200, hostap 
(wep/wpa support for the ipw2x00), ndiswrapper.  Also, some fixing to 
system-config-network to understand about wifi devices such as wlan0.  
When I installed ndiswrapper (to support my Linksys WPC54G), I had to 
manually create my own /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0, 
since the network config tool would not allow me to specify the device 
wlan0.
