Wireless PCI Card in Win 98SE

I recently purchased a TP-LINK TL-WN535GD with the intention of installing it in an old machine I am setting up. Specs as follows:

M/B: QDI P5I437/FMB (Most Recent BIOS)
HD 1: WDC Caviar 21200 (1.3Gb)
HD 2: Seagate U4 ST34311a (4.3Gb)
CPU: Intel Pentium 120MHz
RAM: 64Mb
OS: Windows 98 SE

The motherboard has on it 4 PCI slots and no USB ports, so I figured a PCI wifi card would be a good idea. The problem is, Win98 SE doesn't seem to be able to detect it, or any PCI card I put in, for that matter. I am wondering if there is some step that I am failing to do, so I will run through what I have tried:

1) Ran the setup.exe to install the "TP-LINK Wireless Adapter Driver and Utility". It installed the utility just fine, but a quick look at the device manager shows no trace of any device resembling it. The utility has "Disable Adapter" permanently set to on. The TL-WN353GD has the drivers for Win98SE on it, so it has to be capable of working in Win98SE.

2) Thinking it may have been a problem with the installer, I downloaded and installed the equivalent file from realtek to install the "REALTEK RTL8185 Wireless LAN Driver and Utility" - Same results

3) Tried to install the drivers manually by either going through Add Hardware, or Control Panel > Network > Add... ---- I located the Win98 folder and the appropriate ini file, but whenever I tried to install it I get a "Rundll32" error, and a forced close.

4) Tried updating the BIOS to the most recent version, as well as sorting through the BIOS to see if Plug and Play was disabled (it wasnt)

5) Tried another PCI card I had lying around (didn't work either)

So as of now I don't really have any idea what I should try next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
