It sounds like you're having a problem that I recently had with Airport on a G3 iMac, the Airport card was recognized by the OS, but it could not see any of the networks nearby, the icon in the top menu just had greyed-out lines, indicating the card was turned on, but it wasn't connected to any network. I took the card out and put it in an iBook, and the same thing happened. I put a known-good Airport card into the iMac, and now it can see all the local wireless networks. It sounds like your Airport card may be dead. The best test to make sure it's the card would be to swap in a known-good Airport card, if you can get access to one.
