Here is a diagram of the setup. Hopefully it will clear up the scene.

I am using this setup because Computer 1 is a HTPC/File hosting computer.
The hub will allow streaming media to/from the other computers (computer 2
and computer 3).
Here is an example scenario that I can foresee. Computer 1, which doesn't
have a wireless card to access the internet, wishes to check email/surf
websites/ etc., Computer 2 is playing an online videogame, while Computer 3
is downloading an update.
I know that computer 1 will have to use A wireless connection from computer
2 or 3 via the hub to access the internet. However, will all 3 computers be
using a single wireless card to access the internet or can the 3 computers
use both wireless cards to have the internet?
Here's another scenario. Computer 2 and 3 are idle, with respect to the
internet. Can computer 1 use both wireless cards to transfer a file? That is,
can the internet speeds of a single computer increase past the capabilities
of a single wireless card?
