I'm a little confused...in december my wusb11 ver2.6 (atmel based) device died! It no longer worked in linux or Windows. I tried everything, but nothing worked for like a week. Since I was approaching the begining of exams I needed my internet connection so I went and bought a new wireless card.

Now, about 6 months later, I've tried it again...this time it works!
Anybody know what was wrong and why it would now work?

Also, does anyone know if having 2 wireless connections can be beneficial? Can Linux share the internet connection through two devices to make a single, more stable connection?
