Do you mean if I install wicd,then I can get my wireless working?
I installed wicd from the Slackware DVD, but wicd only shows wired network interface.
Actually I intended to use driver from broadcom itself which is
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
But I can't compile the wl.ko module,and the error is :

But I didn't encounter any problem compiling this module in my previous Slackware 12.2 installation.Anyone knows the problem, or in simple word;how to get my wireless working?
Thank you.
