Check with people you know to see if they have an ABS. When you find 
one, maybe at your local Apple store, see how your book works there. If 
it doesn't, call apple from that location getting your friend abs 
provider's permission.

Check your preferences, especially in your backup. Maybe the airport 
preferences were changed during the repair.

Note: always backup at the very least your preference files before 
sending off to repair. Then all you have to do is drop the copies in 
the proper place and everything is as it was.

Of course, no one sends their hard drive contents away and instead 
backs it up so at the least you would do a restore.

One particularly important concept is that after the first install and 
you have everything working just right, you backup everything. Then you 
can reinstall those working preferences when it hits the fan and be OK 
in no time at all.


,,, OK the super secret power use trick would be to create a new user 
in X and log out and log in to that user and see if the problem 
persists. You will of course have to reset your airport preferences...
