The two radios will interfere with each other, since you have no way to co-ordinate the operation of the two. (That is, unless you've got a highly custom solution, but we won't go there right now.) The fundamental issue is that if a client of, say, the 'b' radio is sending a frame, and the 'g' radio transmits during this time, the incoming (11b) frame will be smashed. (And vica versa.) > Has anyone done this before? Not that I'd admit. (OK, I'll admit to it http://www.vivato.net/download/VA2200%20Datasheet.pdf)
