Windows 98 wifi adapter for T42
Windows 98 wifi adapter for T42
Hello, I'm currently looking for an internal miniPCI wifi adapter with Windows 98 drivers for my T42.
My requirements are:
- Has Windows 98 driver
- Works with WPA2 encryption (difficult to find for Windows 98)
- Supports 802.11g, having 802.11a or 802.11n support is optional but good
Is there any good wifi cards?

Re: Windows 98 wifi adapter for T42
From what I'm gathering having given a very quick look at the driver list, it seems that ThinkPad b/g and a/b/g wireless cards - which are Atheros-chipped - *should* work in a 98 environment. I've never ran that OS on a T4x system so I can't offer any personal experiences.

Re: Windows 98 wifi adapter for T42
You are going to have a difficult time with WPA2 on Windows 98. You MAY be interested in 2000, the overall look is the same. It depends on how badly you want WPA2.
The Boingo client that I use provides WPA2 support for Windows 2000 SP4. (image)
WPA2 was never officially supported by Microsoft on Windows 2000, and this is the only client I know of that provides it. Again, it requires Windows 2000 Service Pack 4: here or here.
For the Boingo installer, my link: http://sdfox7.com/2000/Important_EOL_Up ... taller.exe

Re: Windows 98 wifi adapter for T42
It's for gaming purposes, so Win98 takes priority over Win2000.
Is there no way to get WPA2 working on Windows 98?

Re: Windows 98 wifi adapter for T42
That's a pretty good resource.
Unfortunately, it recommends the SparkLAN WL-850R wireless card, which is rare and not available for purchase.
I dug up this link: https://www.wireless-driver.com/de/rali ... rd-driver/
These are recommended alternative wireless cards:

Re: Windows 98 wifi adapter for T42
Any RT2561-based card should work. There are plenty of CardBus options, but fewer miniPCI options. Still, I can find a few for sale right now on eBay that claim to be based on RT2561:
