LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] network trouble

I reinstalled Slackware after some self-inflicted -current misadventures.

On my new installation I can't get the network to work. I followed AlienBob's guide but must have gone wrong somewhere, as it worked perfectly when I installed Slackware a few months ago.

Any help gratefully received - it's driving me mad! Hopefully it'll be something really obvious, but if it is, it's eluding me.

ifconfig confirms that the device wlan0 is correct.

This is on a fresh installation of Slackware64 13.37.
