Recently I purchased a PCI wireless 802.11b (11Mbps) adapter for my WLAN. The adapter claims to work fine with Windows 98, and the software installed properly on my Windows 98 installation. I strictly followed the installation instructions of the adapter but the PCI card is not detected by the device manager after reboot ("device does not exist). Does anyone know what is happening? Which is more likely, the problem with my motherboard/PCI slots or the problem with my OS? The specification of the adpater: CNet, Inc. IEEE 802.11B WLS LAN-PCI ADPT (CNWL-311) http://www.cnetusa.com/product/specs/wl_cnwl311(a).htm hardware of the machine: Chipset family: AMD K6 CPU speed: 336 MHz Memory size: 64 MB OS: Windows 98 I The motherboard has three PCI slots and all of them work well with other PCI cards (56K modem, USB adapter, Ethernet Network Card). I had tried plugging in the wireless adapter into each slot but none can get the card detected. Any help on this would be greatly appeciated. Thank you!

I searched the web about my motherboard and found out that my PCI slots are version 2.1, and the PCI card I have is version 2.2 compliant. Would that be the source of problem?
