It does NOT appear in the "list" on the left-hand side of the System
Preferences window, nor can it be added to it.

When I click the "assist me" button, then click on "diagnostics", where it
says "choose network port configuration", AirPort is GREYED-OUT (i.e. not
selectable) in the list of choices. It only alllows me to choose Ethernet
or Other (I disconnected the Internal Modem, hoping that would help, but it
didn't make any difference one way or the other).

I don't know what you mean by "deleting" it, since it's not on the list.

I've tried TWO different cards, both of which the seller says have been
tested. I've seated them, re-seated them, rebooted, pressed the CUDA
button, repaired disk permissions, everything I can think of.
