I have a wired DSL connection already. Can I get a wireless pci card and connect to another internet connection at the same time?

You certainly can connect to two connections one wireless and one wired, but if you are asking if this will make your internet faster IT WONT!!!! It will give you redundant connections, meaning if one fails the other will work, but it will not add speed to either one.
You can only use one IP at a time for internet connections otherwise the system that is to reply to you wont know where to reply!

yes . Modem > Router
you need to get 2 Ethernet cords ( Cat5) hook 1 to the router and 1 to the DSL modem .
and hook up your Wireless PCI card
and you're all set to go

could be waiting to apply the usb cable. you will need drivers for it, yet you're able to be waiting to get those off the internet. are you able to not connect ethernet via router or are the slots taken?? Do you not have usb on router the two? if not, attempt in the process the modem, it is going to artwork, it in simple terms relies upon on the modem.

Yes but since its the same connection, why would you want to , it will not increase speed.

Yes you can technically have them running at the same time but expect some quirky results. Its best just to use one or the other at one time.

yes
the same way you can have more than one NIC cards in one computer. They will just be different connections

Sure you can, you are in effect making your PC a router in doing so.
Why would you want to though?
