Got it for next to nothing (pulled from a Goodwill bin!) and have been very happy with it. However, if you want to use it with a wired network, you will need another router besides the Airport.
The way I have it is: DSL Modem=>Linksys Router=>Airport You can only have one "machine" connected to the modem. In order to provide IP Addresses to other machines, the router has to come first after the modem. Since the Graphite only has one ethernet port, you will need a "wired" router to connect a wired ethernet network. A switch can't provide the additional IP addresses you need.
