The below is for SW 10, but I suspect if look at /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless for
the list of expected directories it should illuminate what is expected for
SW 14

"The Slackware 10 rc scripts expect:

   - wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli to be in the same directory (see
   /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless for the list of expected directories)
   - the configuration file must be /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
   - the control directory must be /var/run/wpa_supplicant"

See more at http://perfec.to/wifi/slackware-wpa.html

Also, here's a good write up  on how to manually step through running the
wpa_supplicant and being able to watch it in action to see what it's doing.
