No. For 1242, two connectors for 11a, two connectors for 11b/g, however these two connectors are working for the same radio card, not two cards, they are useful for providing diversity.

From your diagram, AP3 is the root bridge because it is connected to ISP, so AP2 will be a repeater, but 1242 can't work both as repeater and AP. So the diagram won't work. you have 3 alternative options:
1. not let AP2 to connect wireless clients, only configure AP2 as a repeater.
2. If AP1 can connect to AP3 directly, then configure AP3 as root-bridge with wireless clients, configure both AP1 and AP2 as non-root bridge withe wireless clients.
3. If AP1 can't connect to AP3 directly, you need to add an additional AP4 to have back-to-back connection with AP2, configure AP1 and AP4 as non-root bridge with wireless clients, configure AP2 and AP3 as root-bridge with wireless clients; ap1 peered with AP2, AP4 peered with AP3, AP2 and AP4 are interconnected by ethernet port.
