Thank you for your fast answer. I indeed eventually found that an update
driver vor my US Robotics card would provide support for WPA encryption.
However, it did NOT work with the router I'a trying to use. What you
mentionned let me suspect, indeed, that the card would work with WinXP but
not with Win98.
What do you mean exactly by "a wireless gaming adapter" (I am not very fond
of games...). I'am curious because this seems like an easy work around.

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.
