because Win98 does not support WPA or do I need to upgrade the supporting
software of my WiFi card ?


Win98 has no built-in support for any type of wireless networking.
Your WiFi card software and firmware would have to support WPA.

It's very hard to find a network card with WPA support that works with
Win98. As an alternative, you can get a wireless gaming adapter with
WPA support and connect it to a wired Ethernet port on your computer.
