No offense taken. Appreciate you taking the time to respond. Not sure 
what you meant by pulling from the other end. I fully installed the 
G4 iMac antenna plug into the airport card antenna input.

The card works still works properly when I re-installed it back into 
the older G3 iMac.

Since the G4 iMac didn't have an Airport card installed when it 
originally was updated to Tiger decided to fully scrub the drive and 
re-install Tiger from scratch. I'm hoping something was missed since 
the card wasn't there during its original installation. Or maybe 
there are a couple of airport kext files and it isn't reading from 
the proper one. Shot in the dark. Dunno...

Have also read of some strange anomalies regarding original Airport 
cards. Whereas one would work in one computer but not in another. 
Insert a completely different card and it would work.  ??  Hope this 
isn't my experience.

Will keep you posted.
