All USB adapters require drivers (from the vendor) to work in Windows 98.
I found that the drivers for Lexar Jump Drives install the easiest and fit on a floppy disk.
Go to the adapter vendors web site and download the drivers for your model.
Are all your drivers up to date? click for free checkup

Sorry, I made a reply without double checking the group.   I thought Joe was talking about USB flash
drives.
I have not found any USB wireless adapter that works well in a Windows 98 computer.  Can't even get
a PCMCI adapter to work in Windows 98 with the drivers from the vendor.

Hi
Good USB adapter is kind of Oxymoron because Win98 do not work at USB2 level
and thus restrict the adapter to lower performance.
In any case this is a good adapter,

Support for Windows 98SE has been discontinued for some time now so
the drivers might not even exist anymore.    Your only bet is to look
for used 11a or 11b adapters

Your best bet is something like this:

Requires no drivers, which are problematic for 98, anyway.
