I've never looked into getting a PCI adapter.  I just have the usb
adapter sitting in one of my usb hubs for my desktop.  Having usb also
makes it handy to use with my laptop and enable things like connecting
it with a bluetooth enabled cell phone as a wireless modem.

I've never seen a wifi and bluetooth adapter together on one pci card
and I'm not sure it would make much sense given that the two items
really wouldn't share much in the way of chipsets.
