Have you followed the installation instructions?

There is some catching up to do if you aren't running SP2 or are using Access Connections:

There's a "read me" file on the same page where you download the drivers from...

Downloading the drivers is not the end of the process. You have to unpack them from the directory you've downloaded them to...it's usually C/drivers/win/wlan or something like that depedning on the card and driver type...
