Pan, I'm assuming the wireless USB adapter (linksys -g wusb54gc) is installed on her system and provides the connection we see between her system and the router/Internet?
So you want to use Internet Connection Sharing to give you access to her Internet connection? It can work but, in geek-speak, ICS sucks. The most obvious disadvantage is that her system will need to be running for yours to get out. You'll also affect each others' performance. Eww. ICS is more appropriate for sharing dial-up connections.
Since you already own the router and your system has an Ethernet interface, you'd do better to get an Ethernet cable or another wireless adapter and connect your system directly to the Linksys.
