Update: Just in case anybody else is considering kernel upgrade,
everything worked as per Eef's suggestions in preceding posts.
That's on a 14.1x32 install on bios/mbr. Then I also did the same thing
on a 14.1x64 uefi/gpt install (dual-booting with a pre-installed win 8.1),
following the additional instructions at (long url split over two lines)
   http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:slackware_admin:
   linux_kernel_options_for_uefi_and_elilo
And that surprised the heck out of me when it "just worked".
No problems whatsoever. And iwconfig and lspci now show the
wifi chipset that 3.10.17 wasn't supporting, so complete success.
