Have you gone into airport utility?
are you using an airport extreme? if so, reset it.
then delete the current wireless network, and try setting up a new one in airport utility.

I have the same problem. My iBook freezing also. I call my friend on phone, who has iBook, and he has the same problem... Now, I switch off my airport and it isn't freezing.
This was the error report:

Turns out there is quite a bit of this going around. I'm dealing with it on a 1.42GHz iBook G4 model. Most discussions are pointing to a failure in the connection between the airport module and the logic board. Apparently it can become loose and cause the instabilities in the kernel driver. Try turning off the airport and see if it resolves the issue. That solution works for me, but I'd like my airport back so I'm working on a solution.
yeah my friend has the same problem too freezing..... i even reinstalled tiger fresh still had problem..tried a different hard drive and still same problem....Thought it was heat issue but it works great without airport so...no heat issue....went in and removed the airport extreme card and problem solved..its not worth replacing the the logic board..just get the usb stick that supports 11n wireless and rock on till the bad boy dies...by the way ethernet works fine doesnt freeze either...Shut the airport card off..or better yet remove it
