    Do wireless adapter stack?

    If I use my laptops wireless (11G 54Mbps) (built-in) and an edimax usb adapter (11N 150 Mbps) do they work together?

    They'll both have their own connections with unique IP addresses - I'm not sure if the OS will allow to you to bridge wireless connections? If all your network activity is internet based I'd simply stick with the N and disable the onboard G.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    If the did bridge it might be even worse, if you are connected to the same wireless access point there is only a certain about of wavelength, G uses it less well that N so your G card will squeeze the bandwidth of the N card. Bandwidth from an access point is shared between all its clients in networking term it is like a "hub" (a piece of kit people are unused to these days as switches are so cheap).
