802.11b/g pcmcia card on a 15" powerbook

[Tony]

Jef,

I may be wrong, but I don't believe the newer Powerbooks or iBooks use 
PCMCIA anymore.  Until the newer airport extreme cards (802.11g) are 
supported only the older powerbooks and ibooks that used the original 
airport card (802.11b) are supported.

There are still a few recently discontinued 800MHz G3 iBooks available 
at a great price ($699) that should support Yellow Dog Linux.
