i found drivers for it for win98se/me/2000/xp

linkage: http://www.driveryes.com/DriverPages/2006210135300_2487.html

hit the red button that shows a arrow going down meaning download 🙂

the model number was right on the chip I saw it from the picture "RTL 8185L"

If you just want the driver you'll be wanting to download the one named:

Windows XP/2K/ME/98SE driver

I tryed the first one but it installed a nic driver for an ethernet card 🙁

Maybe i'm just having a really stupid day but as far as i'm aware the 'thing' you have there is a wireless network interface card (NIC) hence you're going to need an NIC driver which will then make your ethernet card work.
