P.S. Should have added: This is only a problem with the stock kernel. The Pi-fork still has wifi fine after running the os-initrd-mgr.

Thanks for the report. It's fixed in the latest batch of updates.
I doubt there are any gains to using -S with the RPi fork because it's small enough anyway and a good deal of the required modules are compiled in.

Bearing in mind how many of these there are out there, it seems a shame to disenfranchise so many potential slackers.
I make the OS for the Hardware Models that interest me and that are well supported upstream.
Others are welcome to submit changes to make new Hardware Models work or improve support for existing.

BTW, did you get my PM where I went into a bit more detail of exactly what I did?
Yes. Most if not all of it will be related to the mainline Linux Kernel - especially if stuff works with the RPi Kernel fork.
There's nothing I can do about it apart from sit back, relax and wait until the changes appear in the mainline Kernel.

The Slackware Kernel is generic, so the Device Tree needs to remain separate as it is now.
When Device Tree first appeared and the Boot Loaders didn't support it, you had to append it to the Kernel.
