If you've got an Ethernet connection to your network, why do you need wifi? Do you move your iMac around? I have Airport turned off on my iMac 27". Ethernet is faster.

ethernet works in the imac's present location (though my ever loving and patient wife is not thrilled with wire from router to imac) but i would like to eventually move the imac to a different workspace and without the airport working, i would have to string a 30' ethernet cable thru the apartment and that is not a viable option.
Well, since you're in an apartment, I won't even suggest moving the router with your iMac. But if you find that either the Airport card or the antenna in the iMac is kaput, it will be cheaper to buy a USB wireless adapter from our hosts than to have the Apple Store take the iMac apart:
