Hi, As far as I know all alsa modules have been removed because they are included in the linux-ubuntu-modules package which also contains non-free firmware. There is a wiki page at http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Kernel/Ubuntu-hardy-linux-ubuntu-modules-2-6-24-16-23--ubuntu that follows the checking of the freedom of files in this package and once that has been completed I guess a new package will be created with only the free kernel modules. For gnash, you will need gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg which will have the codecs for YouTube etc. As for wireless, I don't know so maybe someone else can help you out there.
