You need to check which Airport card is compatible with your particular iBook. The two cards are designed differently and have a different set of connectors, so they're not interchangeable.

If you need the original Airport card you'll have to hunt around to get one as Apple no longer make or sell them. Ebay is a good source, but prices are rising. If it's an Airport Express you need any Apple reseller will have them in stock, though with Apple's online store offering to match the best price you can find elsewhere you may as well go to them.

Whichever one it is you need, it will work with any wifi router/basestation, not just with the Apple ones. They are pretty straightforward to set up, so you shouldn't have any trouble.
