Hmm I did some searching and found this page,
http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/news/article.php/3605311 it suggest to me that it
will not work with your system. That you need an access point or router for
this to work. As I understand what you are trying to do, you are attempting
to connect in Ad-Hoc mode, this page suggest that the Wii does not support
this mode to me, only infrastructure mode, or access point connections.
These pages also suggest that you need a router

OK so you have the USB connector and you downloaded buffalo drivers for it,
and set it up as an Ad-hoc network, and that's the problem I believe. You
need to run the SoftAP to put this into infrastructure mode, but SoftAP will
not install in vista. Best bet would be to pick up a cheap access point, or
a wireless router you can turn into an access point.
