Does the DLink need a password? If it does, try typing a $ before the password. That sometimes works.

Have you set up the ibook to connect with airport (instead of, say, ethernet or modem)? DHCP selected?

If it's working you should see this http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3212/2617623548_c853957170_o.png
it would be grayed a bit if your not connected to a network.

Before you give up, check the simple things: Is the card securely seated? Is the antenna connector actually plugged into the card? I've run into several cases where the connector was a bit loose. It looked ok, but wasn't.
Make sure that the Airport on/off option is set to on.
Reinstall the Airport software, just in case it got mangled somehow along the way.

question: what OS are you running? what about you d-link? is it set to work with 802.11b? or is is a/g only? A lot of times, a poorly configured router can cause it not to be picked up, mainly because someone sets it to support the faster speeds, and drop the slower 11b standard.
