I have an Airport card in my Mac Mini and it found my wireless network
connections with no problems. I set my connection to Automatic and it
found it right away. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

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?
