Emachines M3512 and FreeBSD Status

[Ray Seals]

I purchased an emachines M3512 laptop about 3 weeks ago.  I'm currently
running 5.2-Beta on the machine to get the internal NIC to work with the
touch pad.  

It was a good deal.  It listed for $1249.99 before the $200 in rebates. 
It's an AMD Athlon XP-M 2400+ 1.8Ghz processor.
512MB ram
60 Gig drive
ATI Mobility Radeon
15.4" Widescreen

The machine works except for the following items:

- Built In Wireless (Broadcom and there are no drivers for it not even
for the Linux guys they have to use the windows drivers to get theirs to
work).

- Built in Modem (it's not a Lucent chipset)

- DVD/CD-RW works for everything but playing music CD's.  I cannot get
sound out of this machine playing a regular music CD.  Works in in XP
but not in FreeBSD.  Sound works with XMMS playing MP3 files.  I haven't
tried to burn a CD yet either.

- Display only runs in 1024x768.  It can do 1280x800.  Haven't had a
chance to play with this yet.  I read on XFree86 where they have drivers
for these cards.

Any help or ideas on the CD Music thing would be helpful.
