I don't see how wireless would be relates to 32-bit vs. 64-bit at all. As for
browser plugins, that's what nspluginwrapper is for.

That's why Fedora does not install 32-bit multilibs by default now, so you can
install only those you actually need (e.g. yum install nspluginwrapper.i386 if
you want to use 32-bit browser plugins).

F9 x86_64 works just fine on my laptop.
Laptops these days have just as much RAM as desktops (usually between 1 and 4
GB). Also because Vi$ta is really memory-hungry and modern laptops are designed
to run it.
