I cannot help with the cantenna but did you know the most recent Apple 
Airport Card Driver (3.1) works with non-Apple 11g cards such as 
Asante? Since these PC Cards generally have an antenna hookup on the 
card it self it might be easier to pick up one of them and hook your 
cantenna to it.

Of course, the PC Cards are going to have better range than the built 
in airport in the tiBook. I tried to talk my wife into an 11g card but 
having an external thing sticking out the side of her tiBook wasn't too 
appealing.
