I've tried it with both, there is no difference. The reason I tried was
there was a difference in the driver supplied with Ubuntu and the version of
ndiswrapper. I did notice it installs cleaner, automatically, with only the
Xterasys card in the machine. Installing manually or with both the Ethernet
card AND the WiFi card in the machine seems to cause the machine to hang on
boot at the loading of hotplug modules. If you just let it do it's thing it
works fine.
