After i downloaded the latest kernel version for Slackware, kernel 2.6.12.2 and some other packages, i installed it and somehow, the IPW2200 Centrino driver for my Centrino didn't work anymore. I have tried to reinstall it but still it didn't work. So i have to reboot and use the previous kernel version and found the answer that there are some problems when we use kernel 2.6.12. The solution was to upgrade the IPW2200 driver to the latest version, 1.0.6 which fix this bug and it did work.
Please take a note that to install IPW2200 1.0.5 and above, you must also install a new subsystem IEEE80211 before upgrading the IPW2200 driver. Also make sure that you have removed all the previous modules by using remove-old script included in both package. After that, have a nice day with Internet again. Now both my laptop and desktop are running with kernel 2.6.12.2 :)
