Acer Aspire 1690 Wireless Problem

[Felgindy]

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my modprobe.conf file?

alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
options ipw2200 irq=11
options ipw2200 led=1
options tg3
alias eth1 tg3
alias eth0 tg3

My wireless isn't working at all. I'm running FC6 on my Acer Aspire 1690 laptop. I can see the card in the system-networking-properties but everytime I try to activate it I get the message "No device present".

If someone else is running the same system could you share your modprobe.conf file?

Cheers,

Maybe try changing the line
alias eth1 tg3
to
alias eth1 ipw2200
though i'm not sure that's the entire issue.

Also, see if you can get it to recognize your wireless card by removing and reinserting the ipw2200 module:
modprobe -r ipw2200
modprobe ipw2200

Also, you could try running iwconfig to see if it finds any interfaces with wireless extensions. I'm just throwing out ideas, so please excuse me if none of this is helpful.

Why does your alias have tg3 listed for both your ethernet and wireless? The alias for you ipw220 should be:

alias eth1 ipw2200
