Anyone found working drivers for this in w98?

I can get the ndis2 drivers working, apparently (haven't tested xfers yet) but all attempts to get the official 9x driver working have failed so far.
It's allegedly supported.

I've looked at the inf, played around. No luck.
It is a little confusing that apparently ALL 9x drivers (at least the ones I've looked at) tell the registry that they are ndis 3 a instead of 5.

If anyone knows of some archive of old rtl drivers, I'll go through them.

The RTL8111C was the last Realtek chip with proper Windows 98 support. Rloew posted on another forum about a driver that works with later chips, but only at 100 Mbps.

Unfortunately, I can't find that post at the moment with the driver information (I've used it in the past). You might need to do an internet search when you have the time.

If the Linux driver is any guide the init routine for D has an extra variable

Rloew posted about a beta driver for slightly newer Realtek chips on Msfn.org a while back, but I'm having trouble searching for the post on my phone.

I actually have a copy of the driver at home, but I'm at work for the next few hours.
