If you want the wireless to be an internal component, yes. Another opton is to get a USB wireless adapter that is known to work and be recognized as an Airport. There are a few out there. I don't remember off the top of my head. I know i used to use a d-link back in the day that was seen as a native Airport card by OSX.
Misunderstanding alert:
Yes, the mac mini will work great with a Linksys wireless router.
The mac mini has to have inbuilt airport wireless - you just need to check it has that when you buy it.
Any wireless on any mac is always called 'airport' - no matter who supplied the parts.
Hope this helps...
