I stand to be corrected, but I believe you want to put your script, or
whatever you run, into /etc/network/if-up.d, and it should be started
automatically when your network interface is brought up.

To answer the first part of your question, what you're describing is a
speakup bug, that has been mentioned here before. Someone had posted a
solution for how to turn it off, until speakup gets fixed, but I
don't remember what that solution was. A quick way to turn this off is
to simply rmmod pcspkr, but that solution isn't the best.

To answer the second part of your question, assuming the kernel was
configured to store its config file under /proc, you'd find it at
/proc/config.gz. Hth.
