/lib/modules/`uname -r`/pcmcia
Look there for modules/drivers you can load.
Then edit /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts.
It should be easy to tell what to edit, its well commented.

I don't have any experience with wireless cards in linux, but I hope that helps.

That method should work on slack12 too, is probably your best bet to get wireless working.
