That's not an ethernet port. That's an RJ-11 phone port on a modem. Most modem cards had 2 ports. One for the wall cable, the other out to the telephone.

Your only hope is:

1. to find a USB WiFI adapter with Windows 98 support and drivers
2. Hope your motherboard and Windows 98 actually support USB. Widespread USB support did not come into being until Win98SE.
