Mike, if you have an airport card and I am not certain whether you do or not at the moment, you can find it in system profiler.
Out of the box, wireless is turned on so if you are near something that envokes it, looking in the extras menu with control+f8 or vo+m 3 times, you will find airport. I think you said you found it but it was dimmed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Arrigo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 7:06 PM Subject: setting up airport 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?
