Can an X20/X21 go wireless (internally installed)? If yes, obviously I would need a wifi card. What is the recommended wifi card?

Please put the exact Type/Model numbers (from the bottom of the laptops) in your signature.
That will help us greatly in helping you.

It's a X20 2662-35U.

You would have to remove your WAN/Modem miniPCI card and you would lose your WAN and your modem access.
If that is acceptable to you, you could give it a try.
Note however that your specific X20 did not have factory-wifi, so the plastic 'windows' on the sides of your screen are missing.
You would need to find room for the antennas somewhere under the keyboard bezel.
It being such a small machine, I think the outcome will be very poor reception, IF it works at all.
In my opinion, not recommended.
You'd be better off with PCMCIA card.
