No, the Airport cards connect to a ceramic antenna which is built in 
to the case of the computer.  It's a proprietary connection.  It is 
probably possible to solder in a pigtail, but you'd have to open up 
the iBook and have a look around.  Someone has probably already done 
this:  try a google search for "ibook external antenna airport hack"
