Restoring another Pismo...this is the same one that had the sound card defect...another oddity has presented itself.
A known working AirPort card was not seen by the unit (no info shown in the system profiler), but a Motorola WN825G wireless card inserted in the PCMCIA slot works just fine.
If the AirPort connection has a problem, would that trace back to a problem on the main board? It seems odd that the P slot works fine, but not the AirPort.
I expect the sound card problem is unrelated...there I get sound using the headphone jack, but nothing through speakers. I plan to tear it down and replace the sound card, just trying to figure out if I should go all the way to the logic board to resolve the AirPort problem. I can use the Motorola card if I have to, but it's kind of a pain.
