I found somewhat of a solution... I originally had the linksys setup with the MAC addr of my PC. I changed the MAC addr to that of my mini... PRESTO! I was able to connect to the internet for more than 5 mins. But, I also found out that when I start to connect to the internet, I need to immediately renew my DHCP session or tag. If I don't the mini will stop communicating and I then have to power cycle the linksys. This was while being wired. I have since switched over to the airport and have experienced the same conditions. I would guess that the MAC looks for the MAC addr info and the DHCP tag, if it doesn't like it it just shuts down. The PC (not that I'm patting it on the back) doesn't care. I think that the linksys might not be as strict as the Apple product. There is a timer that according to the linksys help can be set to the value 99999 which I believe to be forever, you cannot change it to anything beyond 3600.
