[iBook] Ibook g4 doesn't see network after starting up

[gordens]

thanks. We are current on all apple updates. I did press the "control" 
key after the error omessage - and the ibook did connect. But that 
seems more like a workaround than solving the problem.  We installed 
the card -= maybe we'll try re-installing.
Thanjks for the response.
