Hey There,
Ok. The magic key in getting your non-supported cards to work with N.S. in Windows is WinXP or "better" (yuk!).... It all has to do with the NDIS support of your Operating System. I have a Belkin F5D6020v2, D-Link 650+ and a Buffalo G54A card. The cards do not work unless in WinXP. No settings to change or anything, they just don't work unless in XP. I have a couple of the clients installed and removed from startup.
I really don't think it mtters at all if you install the client or not, as long as you make sure it isn't loading at startup. I installed WinXP Pro on an older laptop I have, 160MB RAM with a AMD K6-2 475MHz. And it's more than quick enough to use for all kinds of stuff not just WarDriving... although, I can't suggest XP for anything...anyway...
Thanks for your time, I hope this helps someone.
Last Thing to say. If your card doesn't work with NS in Win98, just Install WinXP! Deal with it, or buy a supported card.
