Two wireless adaptors?

Is it possible to have 2 wireless adaptors on a laptop (pcmcia card and usb)
both working at the same time?

My laptop connects wirelessly to my D-Link router using a Belkin card. I
can connect my sony PSP to the router no problem as its 802b and that works
fine but I wish to use tunnelling software to play the psp online for games
not meant for online.

To do this I need to create another access point via the laptop and use ics
(with a spare usb dongle hopefully).
Is this kind of setup likely to cause any problems or conflictions?

Yes.
I've had 2 USB adaptors, and 1 pcmcia adaptor on one laptop, at one time,
all with seperate IP addresses.
(for testing)

With linux though, I don't know if windows will handle this well.
