Win98se PC and USB-attached wifi?
Does anybody know of a product that actually works?
A friend has an ancient win98se PC with loads of s/w on it which he doesn't want to upgrade (speed c. 700MHz so not too bad). No ethernet, but has USB.
I bought the Linksys USB-connected wifi transceiver and it crashes the machine the moment it connects. Most likely never been tested on win98 even though the spec says it supports it.
One option is to fit an ethernet card and get a wifi radio that connects via ethernet. Certainly would be less flakey that USB networking, but I don't recall seeing one of those.
He can't use a cable in this case.
The wifi router is a new Linksys job.
