How do I configure a windows me machine for wireless lan?

[cohenfive]

i'll try to keep this brief....have the following:

1. linksys wrt54g wired to cable modem and wired to my (xp) pc. works fine
2. kids have a win me machine with an installed wusb11 2.6 linksys wireless adapter

i have not been able to figure out how to configure my daughter's pc to try to find the network. also not sure if i have to do anything else with the router to 'look for' the wireless broadcast.

basically the hardware's installed but i'm not sure what to do next. supplied information from linksys totally useless, at least for a win me machine.

thanks in advance for the help.
