Wifi is a standard wireless network protocol. There are many different versions, 802.11a 802.11b all the way up to 802.11g (and now theyve skipped several letters & gone straight to 802.11n). A "wifi card" would be an addon card which adds wifi functionality to a computer... The phrase "wifi card" is also sometimes incorrectly used for USB wifi interfaces, even though they arent technically a card.
The generic phrase "PC card" could refer to any of a number of different types of cards. However, it is most often used to refer to PCMCIA type cards, which are addon cards specifically designed for use in notebooks. PCMCIA cards are about the size of a credit card (albeit much thicker) and slide into the PCMCIA slot on a notebook computer. This is preferrable to USB in that PCMCIA cards insert fully (or near fully) into the body of the computer, as opposed to USB addons which usually protrude from the machine & must be removed for travel.
So most likely the phrase "Wifi PC card" refers to a PCMCIA 802.11 wireless network card.
