 Sweet!

One more thing when you get to wifi with networkmanager: it doesn't play
well with dhcpd, the slackware default.  edit

/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/00-dhcp-client.conf  to use dhclient:

[main]
# Choose a DHCP client below.  Upstream recommends dhclient, but results
may vary.
# dhcpcd is the DHCP client usually used by Slackware:
#dhcp=dhcpcd
# dhclient is the ISC reference DHCP client, part of the dhcp package:
dhcp=dhclient
# This is a simple DHCP client that is built into NetworkManager:
#dhcp=internal

other wise you'll get into a connect-disconnent loop.  Since
networkmanager wants to control all network interfaces, edit

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf

to clear out

USE_DHCP[0]=""

This is not absolutely necessary but make its easier to toggle between
wired and wireless without networkmanger freaking out.

...and I'm procrastinating again.

Have Fun!
Ed
