I have tried the patches and now it works better but the network still stops working after a while (and DNS lookup doesn't work at all?).

The question is how different the 8197 and 8198 are. They can't be totally incompatible since the driver almost works? > Have you run this card with ndiswrapper?

I have tried the winxp driver from toshiba, winxp driver from realtek and the win98 driver (forced) from realtek without success. There are no error messages at all so I really do not know what the problem is. /Johan
