[PPC] Powerbook G4 12 inch 1.5 GHz almost there

Been playing for a while and really been enjoying it.  Keeping track of the details, too, for those that follow.  So I really want to iron out the last few details.  Actually, I wasn't keeping great track, so I started over to make sure I didn't miss anything.  So now I've got the following 3 problems:

1.  Battery indicator.  No clue what I'm doing here.  lm-sensors, yeah, but this is a wee over my head.  I might add I do have pbbuttonsd powernowd laptop-mode-tools installed.  xfce4-battery-plugin is pretty much lifeless.  Not sure of any other way I can check it.
2.  Sound don't work.  It during the first install but now I don't know how I got it to work.  I've got the good, the bad, but not the bast GStreamer, I've tried snd_modprobe, I've grabbed mpd and audacious hoping that some of the included libraries that come with would help to no avail.  Gstreamer page on the wiki is a little.. uhh.. sparse.
3.  Wifi!  Using B43 as a driver.  WPA2 in effect here.

B43 confirmed running by lsmod | grep b43:

b43                   146616  0 
rfkill                 12220  3 rfkill_input,b43

pcmcia_core            40300  3 b43,ssb,pcmcia

Here's my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf .. kind of:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
network={
        ssid="foo"
        proto=RSN
        pairwise=CCMP TKIP
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        #psk="bar"
        psk=0
}

Here's what I get from wpa_supplicant:

bash-4.0# wpa_supplicant -dd -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

So I can do this within xfce with the xfc4-wavelan-plugin installed to be visible iff online.  I do the above and there it is.  I get a IP no problem from dhcpcd.  And for those who are about to say it, network-manager, wicd, etc. no existe for PPC.  In fact, I'm shocked to find that even xfce4-settings is missing-- at least from what I can tell.  So no help from that.  I've done it and re-done it.  Started and re-started to no avail.  Something seems amiss.

Anyways, big shout-out to everyone on #archlinux-ppc who have been EXTREMELY helpful.

And, lastly, BTW, screenshot:

if it's valuable, too..
