linksys wifi (G) install on a Lap top

amigo-2k · 05-02-2005, 12:40 PM

I recently purchased a Linksys wifi miniPCI card for an older Laptop running Win98. I followed the directions that came with the card. But during the install it asked for the WIN98 CD. I have no clue where my disk went to. I skipped the install of these files, and the machine is still cable to find the card, but I cannot get onto the web, and I can't log into the router.

I'm guessing that I need to beg, brower or steal a copy of WIN98 inorder to install the card.

any ideas?

Should I just purhcase an old B card and hope for the best?

Hello and Welcome to TSF

Yeah your going to need those files, it wouldn't of asked for them if it didn't

You can purchase a Windows 98 SE CD for like $50.00 from Here

You could also borrow a friends disk, all you need are files.
