Nope. It's kinda a not needed feature. A single ethernet port can punt out way more data than the Airport card: so plugging two data sources into it would do little to nothing.. 802.3ad is only useful if the thing you connect to has a higher bandwidth than you: in this case, that's not the set-up, Sorry.
