Code:
/sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper
If you add that line at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.modules so that the driver gets loaded a lot earlier in the boot process, then rc.inet1 can configure your card just fine.
Make sure that in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf you have IFNAME[1]="wlan0" defined for your card, because the Slackware default is to assume that you only have "ethX" interface names. In your case of "wlan0" you will have to explicitly name it.
If you did not setup your wireless network card in slot 1 of /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf (all the VARIABLENAME[1]="..." settings), please change the [1] to the appropriate value.
You should end up with something like this in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf (again assuming you're using slot [1]):
Code:
IFNAME[1]="wlan0"
IPADDR[1]=""
NETMASK[1]=""
USE_DHCP[1]="yes"
These are the non-wireless related network settings. The wireless configuration was already done in /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf so you should not need to touch that file now.
