Will two wireless cards work w/ a single router?

I'm potentially relocating for work and may live w/ a co-worker for a time. He's set up with a NetGear MA401 wireless card and Linksys cable router. I have zero experience w/ 802.11b stuff. Can I get a wireless card and tap into his setup? Is there even a chance? Are there other details I need to know before trying to figure out if it will work?

Thanks for any help.

If he has a wireless waypoint you should be able to access it with no problem.

Easy - just have him add the MAC address of your wireless card into his router security (assuming he has any security at all). The Linksys supports a ton of clients.
