Please either identify your laptop make and model (and network
interface chipset, if you have any sort of documentation that mentions that),
or go fish for something that probes the hardware enough to identify it.
I think that part of what builds the Xorg config file might be able to track
that down, but not being much into x86 at the moment, that's not the sort
of thing I'd remember.  Another alternative (I'm not sure about this one)
might be http://blogs.sun.com/dmick/entry/prtpci_digest_and_display_prtconf
which is really just a script on top of the output of the command prtconf -pv
(which has long and almost unreadable output, unless you know what it's
actually saying).

The bottom line will probably be one of the following, which given
enough info about your hardware, someone could probably advise you
on:

* network interface not supported by any existing driver
* network interface not supported by any bundled driver, but
  a driver may be available elsewhere, such as
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
http://sol-enet.sourceforge.net/
* network interface is supported by existing driver, but the system
  doesn't recognize how the device identifies itself, in which case given
  the device ID, someone may be able to tell you the magic add_drv
  command to bind that device ID to an existing driver

As for sound, the usual solution on x86 is the OSS drivers from
