Multiple WiFi Adapters on linux

Experts,

Is it possible to configure multiple (dozens) of WiFi adapters (usb sticks) on a linux machine via USB hubs and connect them to a WiFi network at the same time?

Thanks!

Yeah, it is possible, just be known that many network config tools, will by default try to disconnect other network connections you already have going. So due to this, may just be easiest to use ifconfig and iwconfig to connect them.

I remember not that long ago I saw a machine with 7 wifi NICs for someone to use for wardriving. He used PCI cards, and stopped at 7 because that is all he could fit in his case.
