[edit] Integrated Sound/Modem: Intel ICH4
The South bridge, Intel's I/O Controller Hub 4, features an ac97-compatible sound codec. It works with the snd-intel8x0 ALSA driver; the modem should work with the corresponding snd-intel8x0m driver.
The modem was configured to work using the net-dialup/slmodem package and wvdial.
The options:
Carrier Check = no
Stupid Mode = yes
were added in the default /etc/wvdial.conf configuration file.

[edit] Power Management: Centrino / ACPI
The speedstep frequency handling of the cpu can be supported with the cpufreq-modules, including acpi-cpufreq. The scheduler can be selected like shown in the Laptop HOWTO.
[edit] Keyboard/Mouse
Keyboard and mouse are supported out of the box. Since the notebook does not have any connector for external PS/2 input devices, you'll need usb devices in order to extend the input capabilites.
[edit] Controller: i8042
The kernel boot option i8042.noacpi will make the keyboard and touchpad input less irratic.
[edit] Synaptics Touchpad
The touchpad will work great with the synaptics driver.
[edit] PC Card
See this guide. The O2 Micro OZ711M1 is yenta-compatible.
