Can anyone tell me if Gateway model No. SOLO 9100 can take a PC wireless card? It runs on Windows 98.?

Can anyone tell me if Gateway model No. SOLO 9100 can take a PC wireless card? It runs on Windows 98.? It is pretty old, but it worked when I stayed at a hotel using the ethernet cable before. Now, I am staying at hotel that only has a wireless connection and they don't have the USB/Ethernet OR phone line hook up. I bought a Netgear 108 Mbps wireless PC card with the guidence from the BEST BUY salesmen. OBVIOUSLY, I know very little about computers, and can't afford a new one.It is the Trident dvd version and has the slot on the side. I pulled out that thing and inserted this one w/ software, but no luck. Can anyone make this confusing process clear?PLEASE:( Any additional info I can provide, but I have a feeling someone MUCH more knowledgable will solve this quickly with a simple yes or no. Thank you for being kind(I hope.lol.lol) when responding to unexperienced computer user. ASAP if possible, I need it to work. Thank you

1. OK hmm it should work, Windows 98 is a bit iffy because there were lots of versions and updates shouldbe installed, you can go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com in INTERNET EXPLORER and update there, once updated it might be able to accept that card
2. Does your solo 9100 run Win98 or Win98se? I found 2 Netgear 108mbps cards on Best Buy: the WG511T needs Win98se minimum, and the WPN511 requires Win2000 minimum. System Requirements: · Notebook PC with Pentium 300 MHz-compatible processor or higher · Available CardBus PC Card Type II slot · Windows® XP Home, XP Professional, 2000, Me, 98SE Take a look at this link, you will need to have the E6 or higher revision to have a fast enough processor. The first two revisions only had up to a 233mhz cpu. Both Netgear cards require a 300mhz cpu only available in the E6 or higher revision. I should've read further into your post, I see you have the right revision now you just need to check your processor's speed. Try right-clicking on my computer and choosing properties, I think Win98 displays the cpu speed there. So it could be you are only running Windows 98 and/or your processor is not fast enough. If either is the case I would try to return the card to BB because their people suggested an incompatible product. Hope this helps.
