Sound: Work out of box and the (three) loudspeaker buttons at the upper left of the keyboard can be used to control the sound level.

Ethernet: Work out of box and recognize as eth1

Wireless (WiFi): Correctly detected and wrote "ipw2100" in your rc.conf, but you need ipw2100 firmware to make it work. Try: pacman -S ipw2100-fw
