Winston,

G3 iBooks take the original AirPort card not the AirPort Express card.

The AirPort Express card is a different size and 
shape to the AirPort card so it can't "fit 
perfectly".

If you have an AirPort Express card that does fit 
then perhaps you have a G4 iBook. In which case 
did you fit the antenna cable?

If you do have a G3 iBook and the card does fit 
then I suspect you have an AirPort card, in which 
case again did you attach the antenna cable?

If somehow you have managed to fit an AirPort 
Extreme card into a slot designed for an AirPort 
card then you will need to get an original 
Airport card.

Most Apple service centres (at least the ones 
here in Australia do) can sell these to you as a 
"service part" but they do cost a premium.
