I want 2 wireless connections on my MBP so I can use my iPad as a second display (with ad-hoc connection) and still be connected to the Internet. Many coffee shops don't allow device-to-device connections over the local wifi.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
This really didn't address my question. I know how wifi works. My question is can I add a device, probably some access point device, and have two network connections active on a MacBook Pro Retina. Specifically, I want to connect to the internet through the local wifi hotspot, and on the second connect, connect to my iPad so I can use Air Display.
Thanks,

No, you can have only one active wifi connection on your rMBP. I don't own any iOS products, so I can't give you any advice there. You may want to post in theiPad forum.
Good luck,

One more try.... I've done some additional research and have a clearer idea of what I'm trying to accomplish, but I still don't have an answer from this forum. So here goes one more time.
Here's the setup I want to use:
1) A WiFi connection from the internal adapter - this will probably be the connection to the internet via the local coffee shop's hot spot.
2) An access point attached via an ethernet port (through a Thunderbolt adapter). This would provide a second WiFi connection to my iPad's Air Didsplay app.
So, the question is, can I have a simultaneous connection via WiFi ands Ethernet?
Thanks,

Can MBP run 2 wireless connections?
