Can someone point me to a procedure for setting up a "wireless" adapter 
card?

I have ndiswrapper and the Windows driver that came on a CD with the 
Linksys [wmp54g] PCI card.

 ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
rt2500          driver installed, hardware present

I did modprobe ndiswrapper.


And iwconfig  reports:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

sit0      no wireless extensions.

ppp0      no wireless extensions.

This is as far as I got, don't know what to do next.  I'd like to see 
some indication that it sees the router which is presently on an XP box 
about six feet away.
