I've had a similar problem with two AirStar2 PCI cards, the output of the first card was connected to the input of the second card. However, the card's output seems to have a problem with the 5 Volts remote power supply (for active antennas) coming from the other card's input. I suspected a hardware defect, but the two cards were working when I feeded them separately. I've bought a splitter and connected the two cards in parallel - everything is working fine now! Andreas.
