If the USB adapter is free, I would load the drivers and plug it in. Wired USB networking isn't great to start with, so it may even be an improvement!

Note - with W98 you 'may' have to uninstall the old NTL USB drivers before installing the Actiontec drivers.
at this stage I'll give it a try ! it can't be any worse !
if it works Aragorn I owe you a pint !
