2 Wireless Cards on one laptop

The only problem with two PC-Cards is that the antenna sections preclude adding a second card to a two-card slot. You will have to use an USB wireless for the second connection.

Yes.

No, because the IW2200 is internal (mini-PCI), so it can work, but then there's routing issues. It should be possible - specifics would need us to know what OS you use. What happens if you shut off the internal transmitter (fn-F2 on my inspiron - I would expect yours to have a similar key), then insert the D-Link? If you still can't get a signal, you have a problem with your card.

I had two PC Cards in my Dell laptop. One was an SMC card that is pretty flat, and the other was an Orinoco with an antenna hump. I used this to connect to two different networks at the same time. I don't think I used ICS across my "bridge", though.

Had another brain fart - you specifically stated the mini-PCI card.

He wont have to, it just depends on how slim the antennas are. Netgear MA401 for example, is very slim and takes up no more than one slot.

I can run a Senao with a Cisco or an Orinoco at the same time.

Perhaps one card and microsofts Virtual WiFi

I have been connected with a Cardbus card and the internal card at the same time, using a Buffalo card and their software. So it is possible.

Did you try turning off the internal wireless to see if the D-Link card works on its own?

Yes I read that the other day. I can see the network admins just loving that one, I don't think!

I did try that and it didn't work on its own.
