 I'm currently trying to use an External ASUS WL-100G Broadcom-based

 But what I'm running into is that I can't use both the cards at the same
 time or/and I can't seem to figure what card is actually used.

If this is the Broadcom card which is supported by the Apple Airport Extreme driver, this is true. You can only have one "Apple Airport" family card loaded in the machine at one time. Remove one or the other -- you can't have both.


 Is there a way to enable injection for the External ASUS WL-100G
 Broadcom-based 802.11g card?

If this is the same card I think it is, you can't unload the Apple drivers. You can choose not to load 3rd party drivers for cards that are based on Prism or Prism2, for example, but you can't unload the Apple drivers.


                              I would also like to see an option to select
 the MAC/en0 id of the card when selecting a driver, is that possible?

Again, the drivers are loaded per type of card. You can't load the OS drivers for one card of a type and not load the OS drivers for a different card of the same type. Either you load the OS drivers for that type of card, or you don't.
