Can one of the older non Extreme airport card be used in one of the
newer ibook/powerbooks ?

AFAIK, Airport Extreme aren't like older Airport cards thus they are not
physically compatible.
But a standard PCCard Wifi card should work in the PCCard slot on the
PowerBook.

Nod, I can confirm both these statements. The Airport/Airport Extreme cards are entirely new cards - different design, different chipset, different connector, everything.

Get yourself a cheap Orinoco or Prism based card; both have excellent support under Linux.
