So the card is functioning. Does the iBook card work in the TiPB?

Since the pins on the Airport card connector on the TiPB have been sitting
idle all these years, I would guess that some oxidation has developed. This
would make one or more of the pins non-functioning. So what I would do is do
is do a few more insertions of the card and wiggle it a bit. This should
wear any oxidation off the pins. Maybe you could also put a drop or two of
contact cleaner in the slot before pushing the card in. Same with the plug
and jack of the antenna wire.

Good luck...
