You may get stuck with a 10-baseT card for the 1400, I used to have a
1400 and I was able to use a 3Com Modem/10bt card in it. On the plus
side, it most 802.11b cards are 16-bit. I think only the newest 802.11g
cards are actually 32-bit, so if you decide to go wireless, you will be
in good shape.
Or, upgrade to a 5300(?), I've seen hacks on how to upgrade the PCMCIA
slots to CARDBUS and allow the use of any type of PC-Card available.

Airport presumably works on the 1400. I don't know about the 5300.
Cardbus
is a 32bit protocol, and the original PCMCIA protocol is 16 bit. I have
been
beating my head against the wall over this very issue for the past week,
trying to find an ethernet card for my 1400. :-)
As for when Cardbus entered the Mac portable line, it seems to have been
in
the middle of the life of the 3400. Early models can't do it without
modication, and maybe not even then, but later models can do it, and
some,
it seems, without even modification. In any case, the 3400 seems to be
somewhat Cardbus enabled, and all after that are.
