Is there a wifi "g" card with ethernet?

I want a relatively up to date mini pci wifi card that will stay up to date enough to use for a few years, and has either ethernet or a voice compatible modem. The modem is unlikely, but I'll only use it at home anyway, so I can put a full size pci modem in the dock.
I've heard that modern wifi cards aren't even available with ethernet anymore. Is this true? are any kind of mini pci combo cards available with wifi?

Are you referring to PCMCIA cards, or do you really mean mini PCI? What machine is this for?

Why else would I say "mini PCI"?

I have a 240 and a 600X, but I suspect other users will probably be interested. That's why I was going to ask about compatibility specific ThinkPads after I found out what's available.

I've never seen a mPCI project for a 240 discussed here, but Ray has done it in a 600x.

I'm pretty sure others have done this too.
I am specifically interested in wifi cards that have some other feature - preferably ethernet or a modem. I know those exist, but I also want wifi that's going to be good for something for a few more years. I think that means "g" or "n".
So does anyone know if a modern wifi card is available with other features?
