Martin,
Checking on Paul's site it lists all the cards that it recognizes. (I
believe) it does not show MS MN-520 - I could be mistaken so you might want
to double check.
Lantern Patch isn't needed unless the card's identification string of more
than 31 characters. Paul reminded me about this when I inquired about COMPAQ
WL110.
You should run the GetCardInfo, it allows one to extract the idenfitication
string of card inserted in the Newton and More WiFi Cards probably can be
extended to support more cards that would work with Hiroshi's driver. (as
paraphrased from Paul's site)
