You have to remember that with 802.11b, you may be still not connect at 11Mbits.. this is because there may not be the adequate signal strength so the wireless link will drop in speed until a suitable medium is achieved.
Many people do not realise this when they use wireless because a lot of people just use it to surf and therefore do not see the speed impact if the link has dropped to 1.5Mbits. Having said that, the new wireless gear on the market should be adequate enough for the job, especially the dual-bonded 54g gear. With everything wireless though.. YMMV.
