My experience with the Linksys 54G series is that it
comes with software to help make the connection. Run any
third party utility or wizard that came with the card and
follow the on-screen prompts. Don't expect XP to be able
to do it all on its own, as XP may not be familiar with
the latest products and drivers.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, Jack
