Charles,

I'm cheap too, however the Apple Airport Express Card will not work in  
your MDD.
I have a 1.25Ghz MDD and I just installed a PCI 11G 54Mbps 802.11b/g  
network Wireless WiFi Card
I got it off of eBay for $11.95 Free Shipping.
It complies with IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standard for 2.4GHz Wireless  
LAN
And it works great. Only short coming is that it doesn't automatically  
wake from sleep.
I just found a Script on the WEB at http://www.cynosurex.com/Forums/DisplayComments.php?file=Mac%20OS/AppleScript/RaWireless_Automator_.GPL 
.
which should solve the wake problem.

The Apple Airport Express Card doesn't look anything like the Airport  
Card for the MDD.

Cheers

Harry
