Hi RAParker, (and others)
thanks for your friendly and large answer.
I'm trying to understand its meaning ;-)

I see, I wasn't exactly with my description:
One light stays stable, the other is blinking!

I have to recognize, that my statement about my Airport-version might
be wrong too:
My router is a foreign model of the provider, no Apple or Apple
extreme. I thought the internal Airport (=client) card is "extreme"
too or not. But that's surely without meaninig - or?
....

The Airport-Utility can't find any wireless router (at all or only in
my case) of other manufacturers. It doesn't show the WLAN of my
(foreign) router although it is definitely running/sending.

Thank you for encouraging, I already thought about quitting my efforts.
Later:
Meanwhile I tried most things but I don't get my WLAN between Newton
and Mini running.
It doesn't run or I don't understand it to get it running.
The result might be the same.
Another question, friends: is a connection via bluetooth simplier?
And how fast is it compared with WLAN/WiFi?
Hope, this might be an alternative
Stefan
