Not sure if this will answer anything for you but we have recently
bought same USB adapter. We are using Funk Odyssey Client for LEAP
authentication. When I installed the adapter on an XP machine the
Odyssey client didn't see it as a wireless adapter but would select it
as a wired adapter so guess there is some problem with the Belkin
driver. Works fine but I think it is the Odyssey client that sorted
the problem not the Belkin one. No probs with Win2k but still not
working on Win98.
