I guess what I'm really asking is; does anyone know if the MacBook Pro
was designed to overuse some components which would prohibit having
the modem, WiFi and Ethernet all being connected at the same time to 
different networks??  In some way that would prevent the software (OS X,
NetBSD, ...) from utilizing the interfaces, more or less, at the same
time?
