Wavelan was lucent, now orinoco's, brand name for their 802.11b (wifi) products. For those of us who were using 802.11b when it first came out, wavelan = wifi the same way kleenex = tissues and xerox = photocopy.\
As far as the wifi/memory combo cards, I've seen those as well, but am a bit wary of them. I want to completely remove a wifi card when I'm not using it, because I like to cut down the power draw. Memory, on the other hand, I usually leave in the slot all the time.
