Why isn't my G3 iMac picking up my network anymore?

I have a G3 iMac, which has an Airport card (Wireless B) and has worked fine for several years but recently stopped connecting to my network. I just reset my Linksys router and have my PowerBook Aluminum, PowerMac G5, and iMac G3 all within 10 feet of the router. I have the SSID broadcasting, and all of the security features disabled. I've tried Mixed and just Wireless B, but the iMac never sees the SSID being broadcasted while the other two machines do.

I ran the Apple Hardware Test v1.1 CD that came with the iMac and everything passed, but it didn't say anything about testing the Airport or network hardware so I'm thinking this version was out before the Airport cards?? Is there anyway I can get a newer version? (I don't have a DVD drive in it)

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? Is there anyway to run a hardware test to see if the card is still good?
 
Between the time you had reset the Linksys router and now, have your shut down (turned OFF) the iMac G3, waited 20 to 30+ seconds, and then turned ON the iMac G3?

If not, shut down the iMac G3, reset the Linksys router, wait (30+ seconds), and turn ON the iMac G3. Reply with your results.
