The Intel 2100 is an 802.11b NIC, with a max speed of 11 Mbit/s. Hence
why XP was saying the connection was excellent.

Just had the same issue with an Intel 2100 WiFi Nic. The drivers were
old & didn't supt. WPA but it did once I upgraded them altho I don't
know why XP calls 11Mbps an excellent connection. I have an Intel 4965 &
it gets at least 54 Mbps even when the other laptop is connected & it's
also considered an excellent connection. I believe they're talking about
it not dropping packets versus speed but I still wouldn't call it 11
Mbps excellent.
