Has anyone been successful in installing a 16 bit wireless adapter on a Windows 98 SE laptop and use WPA security?

I've seen some 16 bit cards out there and one even supports WPA. I know Win98 doesn't support WPA but there are ways around this.

What card did you use?
What software did you use to enable WPA on Win98?

I have an old laptop that won't take XP and was hoping to use this on my network instead of throwing it out.

Surely the Software Application which comes with the card handles the WPA not Windows 98!

I was hoping for that but wasn't sure.
I was looking to buy this card from Newegg.
SMC EliteConnect SMC2532W-B which seems to support Win98 and WPA.
