NetBSD 2.1rc5

1) Does anyone know a way to have a machine automatically check for  
the presence of wired/wireless network(s) at boot and automatically  
choose to use whichever is present?

2) Audio on a Pismo Powerbook (G3/500), I have installed every audio  
package I can think of and am unable to get sound :(

When I use "CD Player" that came with the Gnome installation, I get a  
message that says "Drive Error" with a icon below it that is a red CD  
with an arrow to the right after it. If I go into the "Multimedia  
Systems Selector" under Desktop->Preferences and try to set 'Default  
Sink' to ESD, when I push the "test" button it says "Failed to  
construct test pipeline for 'ESD - Enlightenment Sound Daemon' If I  
change it to 'OSS - Open Sound System' then I get a tone when I press  
the 'Test' button. When I try to set the 'Default Source' to any of  
OSS, ESD, Silence or Custom, I get the same "Failed to construct test  
pipeline' message.

If I use 'cdplay -f /dev/cd0a play' at the command-line, 'cdplay  
status' tells me that it is playing the track, but I have no sound : 
(, however that seems to be the only way that I am even able to get  
some semblence of playing an audio CD

3) Video (vcd, dvd). Again I have installed every package I can think  
of and am unable to get video :(

I tried to play a DVD in totem movie player (also came with Gnome  
from meta-pkgs), and When I go to Movie->Play Disc I get an error  
that reads 'Failed to find real device node for /dev/pg1500: No such  
file or directory', If I try to play an mpg movie it tells me I am  
missing a codec (ok that is no big deal right now, I can figure that  
out later).

Ther emust be something I am missing though for Audio and Video, I  
just cannot figure out what it might be...as for the presence of  
Wired/WIreless, that is not a *huge* thing, I can edit my rc.conf and  
reboot if need be...

All help appreciated as always

Greg :)
