Run the command as root (or with sudo).

Btw in Slackware -current and (soon) Slackware 10.2, do not run
rc.wireless by itself,but run "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 ath0_restart" instead.
Rc.wireless relies on certain environment variables that are defined
by rc.inet1 . The rc.inet1 will call rc.wireless with the correct
parameters.


Cheers, Eric
