The iBook (unlike the 15-17" Powerbooks), does not have a PC card slot to use 3rd party cards. So, the only wireless option available is using an Apple Airport Card in the special slot under the keyboard.

None.
No one has done it and the cost of doing it would be far more than what a new Airport card costs. The only other options you have for wireless are USB adapters or ethernet wireless devices. Stick with an Airport card.
The iBook Airport card looks like a PCMCIA card, has the same form factor and connector, etc. However, one of the pins was adapted for non standard usage and, therefore, the iBook airport cards will not function in normal PCMCIA slots and vice versa.
