For the newest hardware, I believe only the 15" and 17" PowerBooks have 
PCMCIA, the G4 iBooks do not.

From the Technical specs from apple.com...

"One PC Card/CardBus slot supporting one Type I or Type II card (15-inch 
and 17-inch models)"

http://www.apple.com/powerbook/specs.html

You can still find a few new but recently discontinued G3 iBooks 
#M8758LL/A that use the original Airport card.
