11Mb radio speed does not equal 11Mb data speed. On a typical 802.11b
network you will get 4.5Mb data speed. It appears with Karlnet, under a
little load...you'll actually get better performance than that.
I think he was just saying that the AP will operate at a slower speed
because of the USB limitations. However, the difference isn't 11Mb to
3.3Mb...it is more like 5.5Mb to 3.3.
