Can't be done. Look at the physical form factors:

While it's theoretically possible to construct an ExpressCard 54 to
Cardbus adapter, I'm not aware of anyone making such a device -- and
because of the form factor, it'd be really ugly; the Carbus card would
protude from the machine at least 33mm.
I don't see any wireless ExpressCards listed at
http://www.expresscard.org/web/do/pub/resourcedirectory
so I think you're out of luck. Your best bet is probably to get a USB
2.0 wireless adapter.
