I have yet to locate a documented wifi interface part or
module on the market so that one could interface it at low
level (i.e. its driver will look like an Ethernet driver
to the higher level).
I have not been googling for that for some months now so
your findings might be a nice surprise to me - can point
me to something which is on the market and is documented?

The OPs question was can a 8051 be connected to a WiFi, Yes:

http://www.alphamicro.net/components/product~line~11~id~245.asp

Can an 8051 be connected to a 802.11b PCCard, I doubt it, I have looked
for years with no results.

Just today I ordered this little unit:

Which is an Atmel Amega 328 and WiFi module all packed on to a small
DIP. Asynch Labs also have
Arduino Wifi shields

Jeremy Bentham's "TCP/IP Lean" shows how to interface a PIC16F877 to a
802.11b PC Card.

PCCard is basically ISA with a different connector. Since the
many sources document connecting an 8051 to an ISA card, I
would think it's possible. Cardbus (32-bit PCI with a
different connector), OTOH, is a different kettle of fish.
