Usually, wireless adapters (B) can be installed on Windows 98 Second Edition and up. But with Wireless G adapters, they require a lot more resources, so it is recommended that they be installed on Windows 2000 and XP.
It may work, but you'll probably run into problems in the long run.

Yes, it sounds like it :
'The WPC54G setup is slightly differently for XP than for the other supported versions of Windows (98SE, Me, and 2000), because you'll need to use XP's native wireless configuration tool rather than Linksys's configuration utility. Both configuration tools are easy to use, but XP's native Zero Config utility has security advantages, which we'll discuss later. Regardless of the Windows OS you're running, setup is foolproof and entails little more than loading the accompanying CD and inserting the PC Card.'
