Where did wireless TCP/IP go?

On a Windows 98 SE machine, I installed a Linksys USB
wireless adapter that was working fine until I visited the
MS Office update site and downloaded an installer that was
necessary to receive upgrades. Since then, the adapter no
longer finds the IP address automatically -- it has to be
entered manually -- and there is no longer a
specific "TCP/IP for wireless adapter" available when I
add a protocol. It's just plain vanilla TCP/IP with no
description. What happened to my adapter-specific protocol?

Thanks.

Typically Office updates shouldn't overwrite any base OS system files such
as what you indicate. I'd suggest that you remove the Wireless NIC from
Win98 and reinstall the latest drivers for that card from the NIC
manufacturer's web site.
