I got a belkin pcmcia adaptor for an old powerbook, had to use a dlink utility to get it to work with wpa encrypion though, worked like a charm. I'll see if I can dig out the details.
 
Ibooks dont have PCMCIA slots. The internal airport slot is essentially a PCMCIA slot but im not sure that it will work with a normal card.

I have tried several usb adapters and they have all been flaky as hell with ox 10.3 and 10.4.

I really would reccomend biting the bullet and getting an airport card, they are expensive but they work flawlessly.
