network tranport not installed

I have a laptop Win 98SE working fine on a hard wired hub
home network. If it ain't broke don't fix it, but decided
to go wireless. Linksys wireless card installation
resulted in the computer showing an error entitled "TCP/IP
network transport not installed." I have deleted &
reinstalled every network component & hardware insight
without resolution. even with no network components or
hardware installed, as the computer boots, it gives this
error. Incredibly, Linksys denies this is their problem
even though their software caused this. The knowledge base
has no references. I have even tried reinstalling the
PCMCIA drivers. nada.

I am really irritated with Linksys.

how can I proceed? thanks for any help.
