i have a pismo, a cube and an imac g5. the first 2 have the older airport card, the second the newer one. i use the wi-fi modem that my dsl provided gave me, and they all work fine. what modem will you use?
provided there is no password involved, you should have no problem using your ibook wirelessly.
the building that i live has concrete walls, but i have no problem getting a signal in the apartment. i am right now in my bedroom and the modem is in the other bedroom. i get 4 lines in the signal. if i go to the living room, i usually get 3 lines. granted, my place is not big, but the walls are solid.

I just got one off ebay and love the machine. I have ordered one of the original airport cards and do not have a base station. But I do have DSL through the phone company and a wireless gateway that is supposedly compatible with macintosh.

My question for now: will I have the ability to get wireless at say the coffee shop with the old airport card? Are there suggestions for a wireless "booster" that would work to make the iBook useful in any room in my house?

I'm sure there will be more questions as I get the airport card and get it installed, which I don't think will be a problem.
