Any wireless PCI adapters that support WPA on Windows 98?

Does anyone know of any wireless PCI adapters that let you use WPA
encryption on Windows 98?

Check out the Belkin 54G PCI cards.

I have one and at one stage it was in a 98SE machine. My network is
WPA but as it was a triple boot PC (98, XP and Linux) I can't remember
if I got round to hooking the network to 98SE - which was only used to
play old games.

The quick install guide says it is OK for 98SE.

The same card is now setup for Ubuntu - and it actually connects with
WPA :-)

Wow, Linux has come a long way, but not quite there yet.

Cheers

That is environmentally unfriendly.

I'm talking about not only power consumption but disposal of a still
apparently useful older computer and the energy needed to manufacture
the new computer which will just become obsolete in 5 years anyway.|
If the person finds the old machine still meets their needs, may as well
keep it.

Of course there are or were WPA adapters for 98SE

Most required a supplicant to be installed, either by the manufacturer or
via third party support.

Franc, myself, and others have had discussions on the issue in this group
as:
Wireless access Windows 98SE
another:
Networking trouble with wireless adapter
another:
Wireless and Windows98se
