I haven't seen mobos with wireless, and it's still a moving target
technology, so I wouldn't lock it into a mobo anyway. "G" is probably good
for another year, and then will change again. The cards are cheap enough,
about $30 I think. Double if you want the double speed feature that uses
two channels. (That's what I use at the office.) The latest thing is the
"N" cards which aren't yet a standard and don't really boost speed, just
distance. They use "smart" antennas to direct the signal in the right
direction. And they're quite expensive.
