I know the answer to both of those technologies is a big "No!"

WiMAX will not be available in low-power expansion cards until atleast
2007.
Check it out:

I don't know when UWB will be available, but it's for very short range
connections and wouldn't be used by ISPs or wireless companies for
transmitting an internet connection signal to a wireless device (it's
more of a Media Center-centric technology).
