I don't mean to sound snippy, Pedro, but you might find better answers for 
you, a Slackware user, in the newsgroup alt.os.linux.slackware.  It's pretty 
active.  However, be prepared for flames if you haven't already researched 
this, or if you aren't able to ask very specific questions.  (You might even 
want to lurk for a few days to read the FAQs about asking questions.)  In 
addition to searching the Web for your hardware with your favorite search 
engine, you could search the a.o.l.s Usenet archive at (all one line)

to see if someone else has already addressed your problem(s).
