You should be able to sniff the snmp traffic with ethereal and see what is
being sent by the windows app.  This is on my list of things to do when i
get a free evening.

I think it has a default IP of 192.168.1.250.  I think the problem will be
that no set community string(password) is set.

Also firmware updates require USB support.  The firmware updates for the
wap11 are very worthwhile but may not be neccessary if you only have one
Wap11. (bridging etc)
