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.

Hello all,
I would like to run a mythtv frontend on my xbox. For some very
strange reason my Xbox nic will only work on 10 mbit hubs, for all 100
mbit hubs/switches I tried it fails autonegotation. I've tried
everything, but something must be wrong with the NIC.
Anyway, I read many topics about wireless connections to the
front-end, people complain that 802.11b ain't enough for frontend
(802.11b will boil down to 500/600 KB/s). However I cannot find the
actual bandwith requirements anywhere. I will be able to provide a
sustained 10 mbit feed (around 900 KB/s) to the frontend, do you guys
think it will suffice for average mpeg2 (4000 kbit)? I know the
numbers say it should suffice, but practice is too often different
from reality.
Thanks,
Martijn Coenen

Just thought I would chime in on this. When he stated "900 KB/s"
(bytes), that is equivalent to 10 Mb/s (bits). The MPEG stream is 4
Mb/s (bits), so assuming you don't have any other traffic on that
network segment, you should be OK. I think the way you typed the
numbers was confusing for some people.
