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

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:

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.

There are a lot of threads about wireless in the fedora-list archives
since FC5 was released on 3/20. I would start there.
