Baffled by Airport

[Francis X. Maier]

Just on a hunch, I wiped my iMac hard drive tonight and reinstalled 
OSX.  OSX recognizes the Airport card, but it can't find my wireless 
network either -- which leads me to believe it's a defective card or a 
defective iMac slot or antenna.  I'll check with the local Apple Store 
where I bought the card tomorrow and let the list know.  Thanks for the 
counsel anyway.
