Do I need a wireless network card?

by Jakey11 - 12/26/12 11:43 AM

Hello,

I have installed 98SE on a Compaq Evo N610C which came preinstalled with XP. I can connect to the internet with my BT cable, but I can't use wireless because I don't have the card (I've installed the driver). Can I use wireless without the card? If so, how?

While it appears you installed the OS you have to hunt for drivers for said card. To use wireless without the card I've used those GAME BRIDGES (see google.)
