I have a board that supports a XC2C64-7VQ100C CoolRunner-II CPLD.

There are XC2C128, a XC2C256, and a XC2C512 versions of the
CoolRunner-II.

Am I realistic to expect that the PCI Bridge would work on one of these
or is it likely that one of the FPGAs would be compatable?

Lattice has an application note and HDL sources for a 32-Bit PCI Target using ispMACH devices (rd1008). They claim 34 % utilasation on a M4A3-384/192-65AC. So it might be doable with a coolrunner. But before going the PCI way: If you don't need frequent interaction between the host and the target, think about doing an USB(2) design. No fiffling with PCI, no need to open the PCI, and ready available chipd (Cypress FX2, FTDI DT2232 and even the Opencore core).

I was operating under the impression that a PCI Bridge on a coolrunner that used a supported hardware socket on my board would be the most straightforward way to add the desired 802.11g functionality. Would USB (2) be easier? I'm not familiar with the FX2, FTDI DT2232.

The FT2232 is great for: - generating protocols like One-wire/ I2C/SPI/Jtag - talk to simple devices like the Can BUS Controller SJA1000 - talks to 8 bit FIFO devices and CPUs but is is limited to USB 2.0 Full Speed (12 Mbits / Second) The FX2 is for more challenging task. Serveral Software Radio Projects use them to pipe data at high speed into the PC. Look for the SSRP page (http://oscar.dcarr.org/ssrp/index.php) for an example.
