Simultaneous Infrastructure and Ad Hoc connections?

Okay, potentially dumb question, but here goes.

Can a computer with only a single WiFi NIC connect to both an
Infrastructure-based AP and an ad-hoc peer at the same time? I think not,
but just need confirmation.

Thanks

No, with a single NIC you can only connect to one network at a time.......

Anybody have any luck using MultiNet to connect to multiple simultaneous
WiFi networks using a single WiFi NIC?
