In general when I can't get a device to work with it's driver then I look at
the PCI bridge software driver. Was the win98 installed with this mother
board ? Did you look for the other mother board drivers ?
Look here for a related issue:

The Deskpro EN computers all use a variation of the Intel 815 chipset. Windows
98SE became available before the chipset was shipped, so you need to download
the drivers for it.

Go to the Intel web site, seach for any 815 chipset motherboard, and download
the basic motherboard drivers (file name something infinst_enu.exe), and (I
think) the 815 graphics drivers. While you're there, download the Intel 10/100
drivers for th built-in Ethernet (Intel Pro 100) and audio (AC97 for the ADI
SoundMax chip).

The drivers from the Intel web site work just fine in any brand of motherboard,
because the chipsets are the same... Ben Myers
