I had to add smoe lines manually so rc.wireless script is called from rc.M
(like rc.inet1 is). I also had to install and configure ndiswrapper
software since my wlan card is not supported by kernel. Even then I was
unable to use network until I made some changes to rc.wireless.
I think many less experienced or just not interested in users may find it
diffcult to use wireless devices in Slackware.
