	In the white paper linked from 
<http://www.intel.com/ebusiness/it/solution/wp032201_sum.htm>, Intel 
says that the maximum theoretical network performance you can see 
with 802.11b is 6Mbps (the 11Mbps number is for the radio 
transmissions one-way), and that the practical maximum throughput 
they see with an excellent network infrastructure is about 1.5Mbps. 
And that's shared.
