Airport Express, Linksys WRT54G, and Ethernet

This is wonderful:

My Mac mini doesn’t have wireless (Airport Extreme) built-in, but I do have an Airport Express. You need to set up WDS on the Linksys, by following the directions here at Inderjeet’s blog and here at Troy and Gay. Also check this Ars Technica site for a little more info. The links to the Sveasoft firmware for the WRT54G didn’t work for me, but I found another location of the Sveasoft Satori .bin. Follow the two blog links, and play around. Make sure both the Express and your base station are on the same channel. My Linksys was on channel 6, and I tried to set the Express to 6, but the changes would never stick. I ended up changing the Linksys to 1, which the Express defaults to, and all was happy! Plugged the Mac mini directly into the Airport Express and … HOUSTON, WE HAVE LIFTOFF!
