The basic problem is that you seem to be trying to follow Red Hat
instructions for configuring a Slackware system. RH and its relatives
(basically anything that uses .rpm files) use a very different setup
structure from Slackware (which is very different from *any* other full-size
Linux distribution). You should look for instructions that are Slackware
specific.
That said, let me suggest what I can. (I don't have a running Slackware
system at hand today, so I'm writing this from memory and may be getting
some details wrong. Sorry.) Slackware sets up its modules from a file called
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules . The file already has a line, commented out, for each
module -- you just uncomment the ones you want to add, add any needed
settings (like io= for many NICs - I don't know the one you are trying to
install - look at the descriptive comments in the file for help), save the
file, then run the file to test that it all worked (or reboot, if you prefer).
After you've tried this, if it doesn't work, tell us how it fails. Your
initial message says what you did, but not what didn't work ... I'm assuming
the card simply wasn't installed, but I don't actually know that. If this
new procedure doesn't work, tell us the error messages you get and the
output of "ifconfig".
