Given the age of it, finding a PCMCIA Ethernet card, either wired or wireless that has compatible drivers for Windows 98 First Edition is difficult. Could somebody please give me some suggestions on where and what to get for both wired and wireless Ethernet? I don't have a wireless connection at home, but I might need it elsewhere for internet access. For wired, fast ethernet is sufficient, since I only have a fast Ethernet switch. Heck, I've only got one device at home that supports gigabit Ethernet. *Hmm, no NIC connection on the back,, okay, how about USB? *USB network adapters are relatively cheap and come as 10/100 at least, and of course wireless if that's were your headed. Not an endorsement, nor have I used these, but: http://www.bixnet.com/necready440t.html look at the card type available and search elsewhere if necessary...
