D-Link PCI 804.11g adapter card not recognized. Have old system to use for awhile. Win98SE, 450 mhz Pentium 3, 384 RAM. D-Link router works fine with laptop but not old PC. Will another brand work or am I up-the-creek with this PC?

New, out of box. PC wouldn't recognize software. Downloaded drivers from website with dial-up connection. PC wouldn't recognize hardware.
The times I've added a PCI card, I had to install the software first. Then I shutdown the computer, put in the card and rebooted the computer. Is that what you did? Or did the directions tell you to install the card first?
Instructions said to install software first which I couldn't do so had to download drivers. Then installed hardware but computer wouldn't recognize hardware when re-booted.
