NOt usually.  I know of APs that will do dual authentication, but that is 
WEP or 802.1x where the AP queries a RADIUS server against the login details 
of the user.  The ZyXel G3000 is supposed to be able to do that.

I guess so that the admin can cycle between four profiles, only having to 
tell the users to "switch to key x" when the passkey changes, rather than 
revealing the actual key.
