Hello everyone!
I have been getting the ever so common kernel panic on my iBook G4 1.33 Ghz. It happens sporadically, sometimes within minutes, sometimes hours. I believe it is either the firmware, RAM, or airport (worst case). I removed the aftermarket RAM and so far no problems, but this does not mean much. Here is my panic log:

I noticed "airport" was mentioned. Does this mean the problem is with my airport card? All I need is a verification.
Also, I am not wanting to buy a new computer at the moment. I do not use bluetooth, so I can deal without it. The question is, will a USB WiFi dongle allow to me continue to use my computer's wireless?
Thanks!
EDIT: I just reset the firmware after I left the computer for a bit and when I came back it was off, so I assumed it freaked again.
