Re: Help me please
I use a Netgear Ma 401 Pcmcia Cardbus on older laptops (They have drivers for Windows 95 thru XP). I also use a D Link WNA 1330 Pcmcia card . I don't know if your deawoo specs are as you didn't give enough info. whether you are 16bit pcmcia or 32 bit for one. Whether you have usb 1.0 or 1.1 etc.... Also I am a Linux user so I tend to use cards that are cross compatible.

Re: Help me please
Forgot to mention if you have infared or not either. And how far do you need the signal to network. Whether You are using a wireless router or not either. Need Lots more info to make a useful suggestion.

Re: Help me please
I hate to burst your bubble but 98 wasn't designed for wireless because it was barely around then. Until last year we had a 98 SE machine and although we were able to find a 98 compliant adapter if we where able to connect it it wouldn't stay connected for long. The newest system that really can use wireless is 2000. But why don't you take the hardware scan at the top.
