This process is intended for operation on computers that have two Intel-chipset based networking cards or features (which is more common than you might imagine -- think of a notebook with an Ethernet port and a wireless LAN chip). It allows the two wireless network adapters to be bridged together so that both can be used at once, and in particular so you can move traffic from one card to another.
