Hi

I have a wireless router and a notebook with eithernet and wifi card,
can I enable both cards and connect to router? also is there a way to
make one application use a card , while other use another in both
windows and linux

e.g. can i make apache service bind to one card and browser bind to
another so that they use that card exclusively.

thanks

You can have both connections active, and one will be selected at any time,
depending upon the relative connection speed ("metric").

There is no way to make a specific application use a specific connection.
