Will Wi-Spy 2.4x work with a 802.11 PC card in a laptop?

I would like to use a Wi-Spy 2.4x as well as a 802.11 PC card in a laptop.
(1) Will they have any driver problem?
Can I install both devices and use them at the same time?
(2) Will I have a problem in the spectrum measurement?
When the 802.11 PC card sends signals, Wi-Spy 2.4x will get these extremely-high-power signals sent from the laptop itself and waste all the measurement results it has got so far from APs and other machines.
(3) Will it have any other problems?
Thank you in advance.
We actually recommend using your wireless PC card at the same time as the Wi-Spy. You should also use our software; Chanalyzer and InSSIDer, to analyze your situation.
You shouldn't have any driver problems. And the signals from your card shouldn't throw anything off. If you are doing some major downloading, you will see that of course. Browse through our recordings, all of them were done with laptops and their wireless cards running.
