Install the kernel headers package from the /slackware/d directory on your slackware install disc.


You also need the kernel source to install those drivers. Get them from the /k directory on a Slackware FTP (its not on the disc).


A tip, in the root directory of the Slackware disc, there is a file called PACKAGES.TXT, any time a package is missing, search for it in that file, and it will point you to the direction of that package (if its on the disc).
