Mac users hate to hear this, but the next step is to try it on a<br>
different OS. Either use a live CD as was suggested here and try it in<br>
Linux, or find a friend with a Windows or Linux machine and give it a go<br>
there. That's your quickest path to pointing at checking the radio and<br>
cable and pointing at a driver issue.<br>
