Orinoco makes an AP that will take two cards, but there's no guarantee that
it will accept an Arlan 900 PCMCIA, even if you could find one.

If you REALLY want a hybrid AP, the closest you get may be a PC with one of
each card. You might not want to strap such a beast to the ceiling, but if
it were practical in your environment, that one hybrid may be just what you
need to facilitate a smooth transition area by area.
