I disagree, they are necessarily the same thing, there are several lines of reasoning for this;
1. For a being to be able to do everything, he must know everything that can be done.
2. Knowing is a thing than can be done, if you can do everything, you must know everything that can be known.
They can not be the something since each implies a capacity to place an constraint on the other when the other by definition must be unconstrained in that respect.
1. For a being to be able to do everything, he must be able to alter what he has already known would happen, thus doing everything must include negating omniscience.
2. Knowing is a thing that can be done, but so is unknowing. If you can do everything, you must be able to also deprive yourself of your own omniscience.
