(sorry if my english are bad)

You don't need to rebuild the kernel since you're on 2.6.30 and you should not download a driver from that site.

Hi,

There are several links in the 'Linux Kernel' section of 'Slackware-Links' that maybe of help to you. More than just Slackware® links!

and what should i do...?
i don't know...

take a look at this...http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...tected-743341/
its the same problem i got.....he tell us to rebuilt kernel

He was on 2.6.21. You're on 2.6.30. As the Intel site says, the drivers have been in the kernel since 2.6.24.

so....anyone hlp me???????????????????????????

Your best way to get help may be to start a new thread with a title like "Intel wifi 5100 agn wireless card not detected". That should attract people who know about the card, unlike "how can i rebuilt a kernel????"
