slackware 10.0 ships with 2.4.26, not 2.2.26. I would be quite sure there is no trace of 2.2 branc in slack 10 whatsoever, even though is has been slow to update the kernels in general.

most cards can get support via ndiswrapper if there is no native support, but as you've decided not to tell us what the card is we can't say much more...
