First install wpa_supplicant package in slackware, please download at:

http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/wpa_supplicant/pkg/current/wpa_supplicant-0.5.9-i486-1.tgz

create a wpa_supplicant.conf configuration:

   # This line enables the use of wpa_cli the which is used by rc.wireless
   # If possible (to check for successful association)
   ctrl_interface = / var / run / wpa_supplicant
   # By default, only the root (group 0) may use wpa_cli
   ctrl_interface_group = 0
   eapol_version = 1
   ap_scan = 1
   fast_reauth = 1

   # WPA
   network = {
   scan_ssid = 0
   ssid = "xxxx" # Adjust dg SSID which in use
   proto = WPA
   key_mgmt = WPA-PSK
   pairwise = CCMP TKIP
   group = CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
   psk = "xxxxxxxx" PSK-Key # write it here
   }

Run the wpa_supplicant application, eg if its an Atheros wireless device is ATH0:

wpa_supplicant-d-c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi

Configure the IP address according to the network configuration, if DHCP use dhclient or dhcpcd. For static IP just use ifconfig.
