Windows 98 SE Network Adapter Identifying...

of XP Pro SP2 installed and identified the network adapter in it (and
I forgot to write it down) Windows 98SE hasn't. How can I identify the
correct adapter and install it. When I installed Windows 98SE it
didn't correctly identify the network adapter and there is a yellow
explamation mark beside the name.

You need to identify the Unknown Device in Device manager, and then search for,
downlaod and install the driver.

There are free tools to help you identify it:

Unknown Devices 1.2, available here free:
