For pre-11n PHYs (the fastest of which are 11a and 11g), the maximum data rate 
is < 255*.5 ~= 127 Mb/s, so it fits.

For 11n and later PHYs, the data rate is calculated from values such as the MCS 
index; if the drivers aren't supplying that information (because they can't - 
Microsoft haven't updated the "Native Wi-Fi" radio metadata to handle 11n or 
11ac), the drivers *might* be providing data rate values > 127 Mb/s, but 
there's not much we can do about that.
