Some additional data for the Lenovo R61i/Slackware 12.1 installation.
After the wireless stops running, upon boot up, I get the following:
"/etc/rc.d/rc.M: wLan0 information: 'Fill with your own settings...'"
if I try a wlan0 restart, then I will usually get the following:
"/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: wlan0 information: 'Fill with your own settings...'"

I have the rc.wireless.conf file renamed so it is not currently
used, since "Alien Bob" Says it is really not needed. Also the
"Wpa_Supplicant" file is listed below for review.
====================================================================
# See /usr/doc/wpa_supplicant-0.5.10/wpa_supplicant.conf.sample
# for many more options that you can use in this file.
# This line enables the use of wpa_cli which is used by rc.wireless
# if possible (to check for successful association)

# By default, only root (group 0) may use wpa_cli

}
========================================================
Finally, the "lsmod" and "lspci" are below.
Also please note that today when starting the machine up, I not longer get the
"/etc/rc.d/rc.M: wlan0 information" or the "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: wlan0 information" and
I am not sure why this is changing. I figure once I get any error, until it is fixed
it should not change, but for that matter, I do not understand how this can work
two times fine, but then never work again.
