Welcome to the Forum. To help we need a bit more info. You are on Tiger i guess and have you had the G4 connected with ethernet lead connected to the Thompson and been able to use the internet. When u installed the Airport Extreme Card did you plug in the Antenna Lead to the Card.

Let's get this straight - you are using a Mirror Door G4 running Leopard and using a Thompson TG 585 that is using WEP for the wireless?
Well the PCI card alone knocks me out of the running - someone else will need to comment on that.
However i would say that the Thompson freebie from O2 is a stripped down piece of junk IMO and it will be hard to change any settings.
