which ibook model do you have?

if you have a new ibook you have AirportExtreme card...

if you have a old iBook you can find a not easy pcmcia slot
under keyboard

anyway I know that use CNet Wireless-G USB Dongle with Linux
but the driver have some problem with Linux/ppc

I do know if exists the adapter you want
