Question : PCI Wireless Adapter NOT Working with Windows 98 P-II

Recently I purchased a PCI wireless 802.11b (11Mbps) adapter for my WLAN. The adapter claims to work fine with Windows 98, and the software installed properly on my Windows 98 installation. I strictly followed the installation instructions of the adapter but the PCI card is not detected by the device manager after reboot ("device does not exist). Does anyone know what is happening? Which is more likely, the problem with my motherboard/PCI slots or the problem with my OS?

The specification of the adpater:
CNet, Inc. IEEE 802.11B WLS LAN-PCI ADPT (CNWL-311)

Answer : PCI Wireless Adapter NOT Working with Windows 98 P-II

Go into the BIOS make sure plug and play os is set to yes and make sure you have reset configuration data.  Make sure you see your card description as detected by the BIOS or Windows 98 will never see it.


Hope this helps!
