MN-520 ??? I searche the MS site and all references to the MN-520 I
found mentioned a PCMCIA card adapter for wireless neetworking :-\ The
card is not Mac compatible and the iBook doesn't have a PCMCIA card.

If indeed the MN-520 is a base station and if your iBook has an Airport
card, then it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Here is what I just
posted in another thread:

"As far as a base station is concerned, the Mac is just another 802.11
client. it should be too much of a problem. If the Mac is under MacOS X
10.3, it shoudl have access to the full extend of possible encryption
methods. Before 10.3, you probably won't have 256bits WPA.
If you need the MAC address for MAC filtering, you'll find it in the
Network System preferences. Apple labels it "Airport ID" or something
like that."


The Mac can simpoly be setup to connect on the network through DHCP.

I conected my mac to my MN-520 wireless windows station
by buying a USB adapter from D-link bought in Best Buy.
If you already have an airport card, you shouldn't have
any trouble.
