Perhaps I’m being far too sensible for a change but maybe the guy’s name who developed this is called Russ like it says on their website.

Nah, I prefer your version.

Sorry for your loss.
Guess you’re right, some manufacturers just add windows version X support so it looks great but actually is BS (I know some soundcard manufacturers for instance claiming drivers for linux/windows version X,Y,Z/etc but that all came out empty)

The install CD actually did stick a bunch of the files in a folder, which it didn’t indicate; so I did find them – but they still don’t work on 98 like they say they do. Tried it for XP and it worked there ok (via the .exe w/o having to go looking for the folder..)….but to be honest I haven’t gone back and tried it again and again etc to see what the real problem is. I think the company are just liars that they have a 98 version cause their tech support didn’t bother replying after the initial bs standard replies I got off them.
I’d think different if the computer was at fault with other new hw drivers – but I just got another wireless finder and an external drive, and they both installed with no problems on it.

Oooo – I’m looking for a win98se driver for a ralink RT73 / RT2571 usb card; I will be trying the one ralink provide on their own site, but am interested in any definite leads on defintely-working driver(s) – the one on their site is an .exe set-up, and as yet the other .exe set-ups for that card have failed to work.

I’d prefer the files w/o the .exe set-up eg – rt73u98.sys

(obviously a free download, I’m not going to pay $30 to join some driver db site when I have no real info on their files beforehand)

cheers for any linkies.

- Doesn’t contain the proper atheros drivers for the card in the eee pc.

- Script to create a bootable disk (I tried to install it to an SD card) doesn’t work.
