Well, Welcome to LQ........Unfortunately, you may have a rough welcome. Wireless in linux is either very easy or very tough. For your card, there is a LQ HCL
entry that suggests it works with the
Atmel drivers. The bad news is that since you are using Slax from a CD, unless Slax already has the Atmel driver compiled in, your going to have to compile the driver every time you boot.
So I think you really have three things to look at here. First, dig through the Slax site and see if they have included the Atmel drivers in their distro. Second, if you want to stick with a CD based distro, maybe check out one of the more fully configured ones like Knoppix and see if they have the Atmel drivers on the CD. If I remember correctly, Slax is trying to keep their distro to a minimum size and that means they don't include a lot. The third option would be to carve out a little hard disk space and dual-boot the computer. That would allow you to permanently install the Atmel drivers.
