Certainly, this is how I tested on 3.x, 4.1 and -current! Attached are
raycontrol files from my machines at home.
I note that your raycontrol dump shows that the hopset is 0x03 and not
0x1d. Did you change it? I'm not sure that the hopset code selection
actually works well on rev4 cards (conflicting information in docs
etc.)

Hmm, this means that the cards aren't seeing each other at all. The
seperated BSSIDs and INITED flag, mean that the cards have set up
seperate networks.
Things to try -
plug one card in and wait a couple of minutes before plugging in the next
check the hopsets
I don't think that the W98 will change anything on the cards in a
permanant fashion.

Try moving them away from the monitor - the scan coils may be
interfering with the radio.
