New kernel has arrived for Slackware, 2.6.12.5. It's not the latest kernel version available, because the 2.6.13 has been released officially, but it's the stable one, since 2.6.13 includes many new features and it's considered not a stable one. Maybe after a few minor release, Slackware distro will try to use this version.
Most of the functionality in 2.6.12.5 doesn't change from 2.6.12.3, so all my devices are detected and working perfectly. I have swept away the 2.6.12.3 kernel and now i'm using this version along with 2.4.31, although i never boot to my 2.4.x kernel, since most of functionality i needed wasn't available via 2.4.x, like ACPI, Wireless Device, and Touchpad.
