All you need is a WiFi card that has Windows 98 drivers. Many cards
are available for Windows 98 Second edition. Cards that support the
original version of windows 98 are harder to find. I've used these
successfully on original Windows 98:

USB: Netgear MA101, Netgear MA111
Cardbus: Netgear MA401, Microsoft MN-520

According to their web pages, these should work on original Windows
98, too:

Cardbus: Orinoco Classic Gold PC Card
PCI: Netgear MA311, Orinoco 11b

I have a dell Latitude 300 running win98 that is wifi enabled. I use
the Microsoft wireless-G and another brand X card that works fine. I
had a windsock problem when I installed a Token ring card to connect
to a token Ring system. Upon googling to find a repair utility and
repairing the winsock fault all has been fine since.
