Uncle is trying to install wanadoo broadband, had win millenium on it and was messed up but the wireless adaptor worked ok with it (the green light was lit) so i uninstalled millenium and installed win 98 se, when i go through the set up the program asks me to plug in the usb wireless adaptor and it says installing drivers but when it trys to find the adaptor it fales (could do it fine on millenium) and the green light is very very dimly lit...

when it asks for drivers, do you provide the correct driver for win 98? otherwise it will fail, windows wont have the correct drivers for the wireless adapter
