Multiple Wireless adapters to connect to separate networks?

Is this possible? I have 2 wireless networks in the house. My main data
network and a secondary network used for video only (Sony's Location Free
Player). I know i cannot have one wireless PCI adapter talk to 2 searate
networks simultaneously but can I have 2 PCI apaters in one PC that are homed
onto 2 different networks? Thot it may cause a problem because of 2
different IP addresses but wanted to ask you experts out there. Any help is
appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, XP SP2 supports two simultaneous wireless connections. You should run
these networks on different channels and use different address schemes.

Look at the Microsofr Research site - there was a project of "virtualization"
of a WLAN adapter so it connects to several networks in a "time sharing" mode.
Haven't tried it myself though.

Sure is possible. You can even bridge the two so they see each other easily.
I used to have a wired and wi-fi NIC in use in the one computer handling
different networks and their need for Internet.
