Q: G3 Wallstreet: Can not get airport card to work.
I'm trying to move my Airport card from my Key Lime to a G3 Wallstreet that is running OSX 10.3.9.
I've installed the card, I assume it is in because everything fits neatly into place, but I'm wondering if it is a hardware problem in the back of my mind.
When I try to run the Network Configuration Assistant it doesn't allow me to choose Airport as an option to connect to the internet. I do not seem to have any Airport Utility that I can find on the computer. I downloaded Airport 4.2 and my software update shows that it had actually been installed back when I was first running software updates on this comp.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or if it's even hardware or software. I assume I'm using too old of a powerbook with too new of OS version and the Airport card is lost somewhere in between.
Any help would be appreciated!
