The maximum real world speed I see on my .11g WLAN--Linksys WAP54G
access points, OpenBSD clients with ral(4) and iwi(4)--is about 1.8
Mbyte/s for scp(1) over an IPsec ESP tunnel.
Don't forget that the 54 Mbit/s figure is the raw radio speed and
we are dealing with a shared medium, which means data exchanges are
half-duplex, and there's already a hidden send/acknowledge ping-pong
protocol running at the MAC layer.
