The iBook I got it for is half-dead now, when the healthy half dies

Hello, you can buy one airport card in Ebay, I bought one and works great, you need follow the next tutto.

http://nuevaeracr.blogspot.com/2009/02/actualizar-el-driver-orino-de-las.html

Also the wiki of Debian:

http://wiki.debian.org/orinoco

Also in Ebay sell a USB airport Adapter, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux compatible, have one Realtek Chipset, in the home page of Realtek have the source drivers (the CD have binary i386 drivers).

http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Wireless-WiFi-for-Apple-Mac-iMac-G4-OS-X-10-3-10-4_W0QQitemZ120401973658QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item120401973658&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

First ask the chipset and check in realtek the compatibility, because one of the chips dont work with mac os x 10.3 or later, but in linux works all.

Next you can use WiCD for networking administration:

Also can use add the backports and install wicd.
