I helped my friend installed an Airport card on his eMac (easiest thing in the world) but now the darn computer won't even recognize the card! normally the recpetion indicator shows on the top right but its absent as well as in the system preferences. We upgraded his system to 10.2.6 as well as installed the new airport software (ver. 3.1) from the cd. But to no avail. does anyone have a suggestion how to get the eMac to recognize the card? thanks

Sounds silly, but do make sure you pushed the card in all the way. Same problem happened to me also. I was pretty convinced I had already done it properly, but in fact the card needed an extra shove to make sure it was fully seated. And lo & behold, it was recognized
The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.

thanks for the suggestion. i tried ever so slightly *shoving* it in and got it all the way through but with no still no recognizing from the computer. just wanted to make sure tho, do i need to insert it with the "Airport" logo facing up or with the serial numbers facing up? or does it make a difference?
