Sorry, meant to include it: Kernel is 2.6.27.7
I thought about trying the prism54 driver but was unable to download the
firmware from the links in the P54 site.
No matter what I did I kept getting the html page back as a text file to be
saved, very weird.

Sorry for being blunt, but please don't expect anyone who is busy
hacking wireless drivers to pull Slackware 12.1 and see what kernel
version it has.

Understood.

If I remember correctly, it's harmless.
Since you are using a softmac driver, and you kernel is likely old, you
have basically two options.
1) Try the fullmac driver (prism54).
2) Try compat-wireless.
