Two Wireless Cards Same Time

[Guest]

I have two wireless cards configured on my system
Built-in on Laptop & One via the PC Card (PCMCIA)


Is there a way to split the traffic between the two cards so that I get a
faster connection to my wireless modem (linksys 802.11b)?
Right now, they are connecting at 11Mbps; but I am hoping that between the
two, I could get 22Mbps; or somehow have to streams going into my router and
into the internet...thus; making surfing faster.
I tried upgrading my router to 54 Mbps (802.11g) but somehow that does not
work in my house -- I'm thinking the walls are too thick.

Thanks,

Windows doesn't have anything built in to let you split traffic
between two wireless cards. it will use one or the other, but not
both.

Even if you could, it wouldn't help much, if at all. Your Internet
access can't be faster than the rated speed of your cable modem or DSL
service, which is almost certainly far lower than 802.11b's rated
speed of 11 Mbps.
