Which version of the PowerBook is it? This would help identify which
wireless card is built in. Also, try running the following command.
This lists all the network interfaces installed/detected and paste the
output here.
$ lshw -class network
If you don't have lshw installed you can install it from aptitude (sudo
aptitude install lshw).
