MacMini, what kind of Airport?
I recently purchased the 1.42ghz Mini in January. So far so good on day to day use, but I'm planning to add WiFi. Looking at Apple's site, there is reference to an Airport "module," that cannot be upgraded by the user. Granted, they also tell you that you should have the RAM upgraded professionally, but that didn't take much effort on my part to put a 1GB DIMM inside. Now they used the term "module," which certainly sounds like it's something different than a "card." Does this mean the mini uses some other kind of airport adapter? I'm not sure what to get, but after looking at the insides, the only available port didn't look like a mini-pci slot that notebooks have. \
So what do I need to buy, and do you think I can install it myself? I've built several systems before, so I'm not all thumbs.
Thanks!

If you scroll a bit down you can see a picture of the daughter card that apparently also connects to the bluetooth module. I have no clue where you can actually order it, however.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Or an Ethernet based thingy such as the ZyXEL G-405!
I use one of these when I have my PB in clamshell mode, because there is no acceptable WiFi signal level where my desk is.
Works perfect!
