Hi,

you should read the documentation provided with Slackware to know how to 
configure a wireless interface, you will probably have to edit a 
configuration file to do it.

Alternatively, you can use the low-level command 'iwconfig <iface> key' 
to manually set the WEP key. This method is only recommended for 
advanced users that know what they are doing.
