the desense is huge.. I strongly recomment you DONT put two wireless cards
against each other.. The RF implications are serious.. Besides, I've run
my ipaq in AP mode, just to prove a point, with the prism2 drivers on a
WL100 (linux-wlan-ng-0.1.9), think about using "cells" and repeaters
instead.. Having two 13cm (as in wavelength) adjacent will cause problems
with resonence and so on.. I REALLY wouldn't do it.. Study aerial design
and field theory first!!

Two cards do work simultaneously though
