Will an 802.11b adapter work with a 802.11n router?

Our office recently purchased a new 802.11n router. All of the
laptops have adjusted with no problems. The lone ancient POS desktop
uses a linksys 802.11b wireless adapter with our old router, but seems
to not want to connect to the new 802.11n router. Are they simply
incompatible, or is there a fix?

Thanks.

Check the "Wireless Mode" in the router is set to allow both 11b and 11g.
