AirPort card in a G3 Lombard
I have an airport card I placed in an ancient Lombard, but it is not recognized by the computer. Is there something I need to do to get it to work?

If you placed it into the PC-card slot, I don't believe it is supported by Apple in that configuration. Third-party cards, such as Orinoco or Lucent cards ARE supported in OS 9, and can be supported in Mac OS X with an Open_Software driver.
The Apple card in the PS-slot has no antenna, so you would need to do something about that as well. The Lucent or Orinoco cards have an antenna built into their thick outer ends.
