Some radios are capable of this, but Linux/*BSD drivers don't support it, yet. Microsoft Research demonstrated the capability with Atheros cards. They even operated on two networks on two different channels---there is some performance degradation, but it's usable. Google will find their technical report. Try the keywords "microsoft multinet."
