I tried to read it all and too much information.
Which version should I use on windows 98 with a SMC wifi card ?
I understood that the earlier versions that support windows 98 do not support SMC and the later versions that support SMC do not support windows 98.
Thanks in advance

No.. All versions of NS ONLY supports Hermes chipset based cards under Win9X. Under WinXP NS allows you to use cards with NDIS 5.1 compliant drivers, with the inherent limitations that gives. But that doesn't mean that the card is supported.
Supported cards are listed in the NS documentation. Those cards Marius can vouch for works, because he have access to the necessary documentation. The cards that work under NDIS 5.1 are outside his sphere of control, because they are dependant on the manufacturers ability or lack therof, to implement the NDIS 5.1 specs in their drivers. Therefore they might work, but if they don't you are SOL.
It's clearly stated in the NS Readme file, and in the online help file.
