Maybe not the answer that you were looking for. But seeing what your
requirements are, I'd simply add a two or four port ethernet card to
the case and plug a wireless bridge into one of the ports. This would
be a hassle free setup and give you all the options you need without
having to hunt down that probably rare or non existent card with both
wireless and wired. This would also give you the future proof
posibility to add another wireless bridge when a new and better
standard is hitting the market. (I love to have both 802.11b and
802.11n bridges on my network, so I can have the 802.11n bridge
running at its fastest setting).
