I have a mini case with a VIA motherboard and CPU. It has an on-board

the (wired only) LinkSys I have now. It only has one PCI slot, but I want
to be able to provide both wired and wireless LAN access. I'm looking for
both hardware suggestions (i.e. a PCI card with both wired and wireless
ethernet that is supported by the kernel in stable) and configuration
help.
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).
