old airport card just installed - can't connect to router

hi folks.

i've just installed an old airport card in my g4(dual), which the machine recognizes..

what i can't do is pull the plug on the ethernet cable in order to go wireless... no amount of fiddling and faffing with the airport nor the vpn settings(should i be faffing with the vpn settings?) seems to help..

i'm being asked for a WEP password, (which i don't think i even have), and the network name, (i've used the router's IP address)..

still no joy.

i either get an error message or at best with the vpn it stays 'connecting' without actually making contact.

the router is a belkin 54g - model f5d7630-4a... if anyone has any suggestions or a web link i can look at, please let me know..

cheers

ah.. the irony isn't lost..

but there's that little wire you have to plug into the card before you go wireless.

doh!

Yes, it's the antenna wire....
