So myth was working on server xena and had an old tulip 10 Mbt card to get
the channel listings. It _could_ play video to the other computers in the
house, but it hesitated, stuttered, and paused.

Always one to look for a $30 fix (ever notice that it can get expensive to
be a CB?), I hit ebay and got me a D-Link AirPlus XtremeG DWL-G520 108Mbps
PCI WiFi Card. My wireless router ia a d-link DI-624 High-Speed 2.4GHz
(802.11g) Wireless 108Mbps1 Router (a lot of mark and paste here to make
sure you get accurate marketing buzz). The laptop has a DWL-G650 High
Speed 2.4GHz (802.11g) Wireless 108Mbps1 Cardbus Adapter.

Got it? All the same manufacturer, all capable of doing the 108G conga
together. The d-link literature says, my hand to god, "great for streaming
video and gaming."

Then I log into the router as root and set it to do the 108G stuff, reset
it, and confirm that I can still use the network.

Now the Myth streaming over the network is MUCH better ... but it still
stutters.

So my question is this. Is there anything I need to do on the Myth box and
perhaps the laptop to tell _their_ d-link cards that we're now doing the
108G thing? And, yes, I have googled. But I know there are better googlers
on this list.

It would be nice to avoid drilling the ceiling for cat 5. My wife *likes*
the Myth box just fine, especially when we don't have to fight the kids to
wrestle her air time (the Friday Newshour, por exemplar) away from the
kids. But every time I put time into improving it, she gets that withering
"it's JUST TV" look.
