It looks as though the ethernet and most other things work (and I'm pretty sure the graphics can be made to work), but your comment about the sound was a bit of a red flag. (I don't really want my main workstation to be sans sound!) I took a look around for chip id 0x43701002 and found that it seems to be some variant of an ALC658 (conexant would be the modem, I believe): http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20050505133757.2adacb8f.torfinn.ingolfsen I found a site by some fellow in France who has another notebook with the same motherboard and his linux distribution is using the ac97 codec: http://www.starynkevitch.net/Basile/msi_s270_linux.html Hopefully this points you in the right direction?
