Yes, as long as it's supported and you can deal with the fighting dhcp settings issue if you use both at once on DHCP networks. On 5.x I'd recommend an atheros card based on the AR5210 or AR5211. If you're will to try 6.x, any Atheros card will work. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
