Pretty cool.
After doing a clean w98 install I plugged in the Dlink and it installed the drivers !
Reception is good.
I still need to figure out why no sound comes out of the speakers although everything's installed properly, but I'll make it !

Strangely enough, when I install the same drivers booting from a doc image, an exclamation mark shows up in the system pannel. Still working on that. I do have sound with the DOC, so it may be related ?

some further testing shows that the actual speed is around 600kbps, less thant the expected 4mbps
Maybe it's due to the lack of power to the USB port.
Still good enough though.

Strange, it's stopped working
Seems that when everything's in the box, the heat builds up and somehow messes up the USB controllers...Works ok when the box is open.
Doesn't make much sense to me but that's the way it is !

After reading other posts about USB problems, it seems my problem is a bit different, because the device is recognized, but with an exclamation mark
