I even tried reinstalling slackware 14.1 and selecting network manager as default during setup only. That too did not work. Fed up, I have installed Ubntu 13.04 and did the same process to connect through network manager applet, with no hassels (was able to configure/connect within seconds). It just doesn't work with slackware on my laptop.
Is it because of some architectural difference or maybe something related to network confguration is disabled by default in slackware whereas is enable in other distros (say ubuntu) by default?
