I have a Microsoft wifi card but, it only supports WEP. I might just lower my security to WEP but, was curious about other laptop wifi cards that have 98 support. does any one they use have one or know of any?

That card is RTL8185 based and there are lots of cheap mini PCI cards available on ebay ! I now know what my laptop will get :3
Are there any Win98 compatible wifi setups that support WPA2 ? I tested one D-link USB thing long ago but I cannot remember whether it did or did not support WPA2...

aaaww the belkin is for desktops only. So i guess look for "RTL8185" based solutions then.
also what software do you use to manage wifi connections. i might guess the windows software will not support a non Microsoft wifi card?
EDIT: snagged one on ebay for 3 bucks USD shipped and got some 98se inf drivers.

I have finally got my laptop to use non Broadcom card and I have been trying to get Atheros AR5005G working, but I have had no luck at all. INF says 9x is supported but no driver has the 9x specific file, and none got the client program to go with the card.
I now have my eyes on a Ralink 2561F based card and Intel 2200BG (I will try out some Lenovo driver that got posted a little ago !

Success with Ralink RA2560F !
I used the RA2500 mPCI/PCI driver from Ralink site, it comes with the client and works nicely !
It understands what WPA2 is but cannot connect to it though... so that means I will change my Wifi settings a bit at home.
I could not get Intel 2200BG or Atheros AR5005G to work
