I just add a Linksys WPC600n ultra PCMCIA atapter to my Thinkpad.And after Ubuntu download and installed the driver.NM shows it and and connected. Here is how the Linksys and the Intel cards are listed.
Linksys-Broadcom BCM-4321 802.11 a/b/g/n Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG [Galexico 2]Now with the Linksys driver,nm will connect to both at the same time without crashing. The driver for the Linksys is listed as wl.
