Could not load Network preference pane
Out of the blue, my network preference pane now fails to load.
The first sign was that Airport card monitor in the status bar showed no reception and, worse, says "Airport card not installed". If I then try to load the Network pref pane from System Preferences, I'm met with a message box telling me it can't be loaded.
The .prefpane file is present in /System/Library/PreferencePanes (and, for what it's worth, plutil /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Network.prefPane/Contents/Info.plist returns OK).
I've repaired disk permissions (both as normal and from the install disc).
I can still connect to the network, though, so it's not the end of the world.
What's next to check?
