Q: Airport icon greyed out - Airport card failure?

The Airport icon in the menu bar is "greyed out" implying my computer (iBook Powerbook 4,1) is too far from the wireless base station. However I am typing this question on another iBook that is less than a foot away from the problem machine.

The older computer did not have built in Wireless capability and we purchased and installed an Airport Extreme card. This was maybe ten years ago.

I suspect that the Airport card has simply reached the end of its useful life and is unable to pick up wireless signals but would welcome any thoughts anyone else might have
