Thanks for the ideas, Chris.

Yes. it's a Buffalo WLI-CB-AG54 - one of the few that will work with a G3 
laptop  and it uses Apple's drivers. But it has always been temperamental 
- I actually gave up on it shortly after buying it.

Then I learned recently that my card would probably not have just stopped 
working which it seemed to have done - it must have been a set up issue.

So, I tried again - going to every relevant panel, using diagnostics and 
assistants etc and could not get it to connect to my network (kept 
getting an error message).  I put the laptop to sleep.  I woke it up the 
next morning and it connected automatically - suddenly I was wireless!

So, I am leaving it in with the hope that it continues to function if I 
don't touch it.  But I do have some weird connection issues - 
occasionally.  

Do you think it may be related to my connection schedule and when I put 
it to sleep?

The last time it behaved as described, I just kept hitting 
Option-Command-K repeatedly until finally it tried to connect.

I guess I will just try to be stubborn - and maybe watch that I don't put 
the G3 to sleep at the same moment that it is trying to connect on its 
own.
