Comment 43 for bug 189398

I have just installed Hardy Heron 8.04, onto an NEC Versa C150 Laptop. (wanted EMC2)
I am new to Linux. I have been using it for just 1 week now. (Spent most of that time trying to fix problems)

'Painfully Slow to Install' was the first problem ( swapfile solution applied).

The Cisco Aironet 350 WiFi Lan and Ali 1545? Sound card both were not working.
I had failed to google a solution that worked (or made any sense), until I stumbled upon the AES edit to the modules.alias file, which I discovered after running the System>Admin>Hardware Test, and wondered what 'Launchpad' was.

Edited file as suggested, re-booted, and Hey presto, quicker boot, sound at last, and 'Enable wireless' has finally appeared in the Network Control menu.

Many Many, thanks to that man!
