It sounds like you need to install the wireless card software.
Then you should have a wireless network interface showing up.
With XP, the Linksys recommendation is to install the software *before* you
install the hardware. Then the more automatic install should happen when
the hardware appears.
If you run: Start / Run / cmd
and
type: ipconfig
Does the interface show up there?
If the card isn't plugged in, it won't show up there I believe.
When it is plugged in then it should show up there.
And, it should have an IP address that's compatible with your LAN

> Okay, I have a linksys wireless card in a notebook running XP Pro. The
card says it is running properly (in device manager) but I have no
connection to the access point. In network connections it thinks the
connection is a Local Area Connection and that a cable is disconnected. I
do not have a section for "wireless." I was under the impression that XP
picks up the wireless network automaticly. Could this be a service pack
issue (ie: SP 1 not SP1a?) Any thoughts. Thanks
