    Installed airport card, now it won't boot.

    I have a PowerMac G4 Cube that is running OS X 10.4. I bought an Apple airport card so I can have a wireless connection. I installed the airport card (which works just fine in other MACs), but now my G4 Cube will not boot. When I take the airport card out, it boots just fine. For some reason it doesn't like the card. I don;t have this problem when I try putting the card into other computers that need the airport card (as oppose to the airport extreme card) I have not been able to find a solution to this yet. Can anybody make some suggestions or help me out with this?

    And you're sure that this isn't the Airport Extreme card? Because I don't think the AE card will work on the Cube.

    Also, have you upgraded to the latest version of Tiger? 10.4.4 was just recently released, but you might want to wait on that one if you're not quite sure. 10.4.3 Combo Updater should still be available from Apple's website. Just make sure you're downloading the Combo Updater and not the "Delta" Updater which only upgrades from 10.4.2 to 10.4.3.

    Yes, I am positive that this isn't an Airport Extreme card. It is the regular airport card.

    I am currently at MAC 10.4.3 (combo update).
