ap/alsa-utils-1.0.23-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Patched alsaconf to generate /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf.
  Thanks to Alan Hicks.
kde/kdebase-workspace-4.4.3-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Patched xinitrc.kde to launch with ck-launch-session only if the
  DESKTOP_SESSION variable is empty.  This fixes a bug where a ck-aware
  login manager such as KDM may have already launched a ConsoleKit
  session, causing the xinitrc to launch another one and marking the
  first one inactive.  This can lead to auth failures.
  Thanks to Robby Workman.
n/samba-3.5.3-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
xap/xfce-4.6.1-x86_64-9.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Patched xinitrc.xfce to launch with ck-launch-session only if the
  DESKTOP_SESSION variable is empty.  Thanks to Robby Workman.

+=================================================
+How do I get my card to use WPA-PSK in Slackware?
+=================================================
+
+First off: wpa_supplicant REQUIRES the AP to broadcast the SSID. When the AP
+hides its SSID, all you will get out of wpa_supplicant is the message:
+"No suitable AP found"
+
+Also, read the MADwifi FAQ (http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/dokuwiki/doku.php)
+since it contains a wealth of information.
+
+This being said, you'll have to do the following (as root):
+Edit the file named /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and add these lines:
+
+network={
+		scan_ssid=0
+		proto=WPA
+		key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
+		pairwise=CCMP TKIP
+		group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
+}
+
+Then execute:
+
+/usr/sbin/wpa_passphrase YOURSSID passphrase
+
+with the SSID of your AP and the passphrase you've entered in its WPA-PSK configuration. You'll receive an output, which looks like this:
+
+network={
+		ssid="YOURSSID"
+		#psk="passphrase"
+
+psk=66a4bfb03de5656cf26cfa03a116097546046f4aea11ee044b841171207d8308
+}
+
+Copy the three lines within the network-tag into your own entry in wpa_supplicant.conf and change the permissions after you've finished editing:
+
+chmod 640 /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
+
+To get your network device up and running, execute:
+
+### /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Bw -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi ###
+### you don't have to run the above command by hand, because it will         ###
+### be executed by the rc.inet1 command that you run:                        ###
+
+/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 ath0_start
+
+In case you want to see the wpa_supplicant in action, start it on the command line before enabling the wireless device, by running:
+/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -dw -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi
+The terminal where you've started the wpa_supplicant should now show the communication between your wlan card and the AP. If you got everything up and running you can let Slackware's init script take over by killing wpa_supplicant and running:
+
+/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 ath0_restart
+
+Studying the wpa_supplicant README is also highly recommended for further insight!
