yar... I need help with a wireless network card >.>

Having a nice aged old problem with installing a wireless network card (Hawking Wireless-G PCI Card, 54M 802.11g wireless PCI ethernet card) to an old Compaq computer with a fresh 98 Standard edition fully updated via windows update. The compaq works perfectly on wired Network, but it refuses to work with the router ;

I grabbed up to date drivers, they did not work, try several websites and thier solutions for it not to work, but I figured I'd ask here and see if I can get it to work.

The exact error message is as follows:

ndis.vxd, ntkern.vxd device loaders for this device could not load the device drivers (code 2)

Again, the OS is Windows 98 standard updated as much as possible via Windows Update a couple days ago...

Only card plugged in is the network.

Anyone have any idea?

 

OK, maybe a dumb question but are you sure the drivers you downloaded are to be used for Windows 98? There's also a post about the NTKERN.VXD failing to load on Windows 98 SE at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;294292
that may or may/not apply.

 

yeppers, 98 driver.

And thanks for the link, I'll check it out when I try tweaking with the comp again in a few ^^
