Mike,
I'm not sure if the Mini has an Airport card built in, but I assume it
does. If that's the case, yo you should have an Airport status menu
available with ctrl-f8. Airport should be enabled by default -- if
turn airport on is "dimmed" it's already on. If a network is seen,
you will see it in the drop down menu off that status bar. You
shouldn't have to add it in networking unless for whatever reason, the
Airport card isn't being recognized or something.
HTH,
Steve

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if someone can tell me what I am
missinghere. I don't have a wireless network here at home, but was
playing with the network configuration to try to figure out how to
enable the airport feature, since their may come a time when I take my
mac mini to a place that uses wireless networking. I realize I don't
have a network to connect to, but I could not even get the airport
feature to enable. In network preferences, I chose to add a service,
and selected airport. An option became available to turn on airport,
so I selected that but it had no effect. Do I actually need to use the
assistant and enter the name of a wireless network before airport will
enable? Also, do I need to use the airport utility application, or is
all of this done in network preferences?
