Hi Chris,
Yes, to hook them up to your iBook you will need one (or more) of the following:
ADB Cable & USB to Serial Adapter (the general consenus is to use the
one made by Keyspan)
Network Card (and a memory card with the drivers and NIE 2.0)
An IR Port & Some luck (as I can't remember if the iBook supports this)
I believe you will need to "downgrade" to WEP and yes, you will need a
WiFi card however it must be compatible with the driver (See both
Hiroshi and Paul Guyot's websites). You will also need the driver
which is ten dollars.
