This morning I thought I would take a look at what the Interwebs have to say about setting up wireless on my Slackware laptop. I recall a recommendation from this list to let Ben or Ed help me with that. After reviewing several websites, I can see why. So, later this afternoon, I'll be ready to hear the recommendations.

When I installed Slackware I recall having to choose something regarding networking. One of the options was NetworkManager. I did not choose that option. I see an icon down in the task bar that looks like a representation of a monitor and keyboard. It has a red X on it's lower right corner. When I hover over it it says NetworkManager not running.

This laptop has previously worked with my Buffalo Router, and with WiFi access points out in the scary world (such as at motels when we're on trips), so I know the hardware works. Now I just need assistance picking the right set of instructions to follow.

Thanks in advance.
