If both interfaces are talking to the same Access point on the same

 It's not different from having two completely separate clients connected to
the same AP. Unless the channel is fully saturated, the available bandwith
will be shared between the clients.

It reminds me of a really strange situation we encountered in the early days of NT and TCP/IP
The customer complained of 50% packet loss.
EXACTLY 50% packet loss.
It turned out their NT server was bridging tow networks and had two Ethernet cards. And two different IP addresses.
Nothing wrong with that.
However the ability under windows to make BOTH of them the default route, led to the TCP/IP stack using them in round robin to send TCP/IP packets.
Microsoft were complete assholes.
