Linksys notebook adapter and Win98SE

I already have a Linksys WPC54G notebook adapter coupled with a WAG54G which
is working fine with my XP Pro laptop, and now I want to increase
flexibility by adding another laptop to my home wireless LAN - to increase
options for storage etc
So I have bought another WPC54G to use on my Win 98SE laptop but cannot find
a way of getting round an error on loading the install CD.

I have opted to use the same channel and SSID as the existing setup, but
opted for Ad-Hoc mode (actually, selecting infrastructure mode makes no
difference with this problem) - and at the same point of s/w load receive an
error as follows :
================================================== =
Linsys Installation Wizard
Installation Failed
ErrorCode=-3
ErrorDesc.=Required data not found or disk space not enough
================================================== =
assuming the target for install is C drive, then space should not be the
issue as all partitions including C on the 98SE laptop are healthy (C is
FAT32 457Mb free)
has anyone come across this one, or am I facing a full o/s reload for a
clean start ?

thanks in advance
Dave

Might try downloading the utility and driver from linksys, make sure
you
get the one for win98 and the correct version of your card. Long shot
but worth a try before you start reformatting.
