Currently I have an airport card included, but I would like to take this out and put into my ibook and finally try to get a combo PCMCIA card for wlan AND bluetooth for my tibook. Is there something like this for sale?
And if not, is there any 802.11g (54mbit) PCMCIA card for mac?
 
I'm not sure if it's documented somewhere that such Linksys PCMCIA Wireless LAN cards will work on OS 9/X but that would be my next bet.

I've never heard of a combo (a WLAN card w/ Bluetooth capabilities). You would have to get a Bluetooth adapter. Dlink makes one of those.
 
I found a group developing drivers for pcmcia wlan cards. Check here:
http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/
However, I have no clue which of those supported cards are 54mbit compatible. didn'T feel like google each of them.

Currently I have a bluetooth usb adaptor, but I would love to have it as a card inserted and hidden in my pcmcia slot and not exposed over the lid of my tibook..

Hope one has seen such a card
 
No, don't have any links. I ran across the info in a forum like this. I have tried both the linksys WPC54g and the Buffalo WLI CB G54 and they both work right out of the box. The only hitch was the card shows up in the airport menu as a generic 802.11b card, but it does connect to my AE base station at 54M.
