I think you need to concentrate on getting the ndiswrapper module loaded earlier in the boot process. I don't run slackware, but I think there is a file in /etc/ of the drivers to load first. (It might be called preload) Another option is to include ndiswrapper in your initrd file.

Here is a Ubuntu link using ndiswrapper on the Acer. Some translation to slackware may be necessary. Note the acpi stuff, which may be Acer specific, however you could have a similar issue on your computer. This poster created a startup/shutdown script in /etc/init.d/ that modprobes ndiswrapper.

That warning about nickname isn't that important, I have it too with my Broadcom chip but the connection is working.

i installed the package from linuxpackage.I remove it and install it from source.Now the module is load at startup but the same error.

if i restore the old rc.inet1.conf without changes and run these commands
the wireless working.

I see several things wrong in your configuration.

First off, the ndiswrapper no longer requires the use of the "ndiswrapper" driver of wpa_supplicant, instead with modern releases of the kernel and ndiswrapper you should use the "wext" driver. Read my info at http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/...reless_network

Second, the line
Code:
#IPADDR[4]="192.168.1.5"
will prevent the card from getting an IP address even if you would get the WPA configuration to work.

What I would do:
  1. Delete /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf (it is not needed and you can keep all your settings in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf)
  2. Have this in your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file:
    Code:
    # This line enables the use of wpa_cli which is used by rc.wireless
    # if possible (to check for successful association)
    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    # By default, only root (group 0) may use wpa_cli
    ctrl_interface_group=0
    eapol_version=1
    ap_scan=1
    fast_reauth=1
    
    # WPA protected network, supply your own ESSID and WPAPSK here:
    network={
      scan_ssid=0
      ssid="linksys"
      proto=WPA
      key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
      pairwise=CCMP TKIP
      group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
      psk=your_psk_here
    }
  3. Have this as your network configuration for card number [4] in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf:
    Code:
    IFNAME[4]="wlan0"
    IPADDR[4]="192.168.1.5"
    NETMASK[4]="255.255.255.0"
    USE_DHCP[4]=""
    DHCP_HOSTNAME[4]=""
    WLAN_ESSID[4]="linksys"
    WLAN_MODE[4]=Managed
    WLAN_WPA[4]="wpa_supplicant"
    WLAN_WPADRIVER[4]="wext"
  4. And don't forget to set the default gateway in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf:
    Code:
    # Default gateway IP address:
    GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"

Good to see that it all works using only the Slackware configuration scripts ;-)
