What's the overhead then? I'd guess 11Mbps / 8 =~ 1.5MBps - the rest is 
lost in collisions, is it?

And yes, this is 802.11b - I have an old iBook on the LAN. AFAIK 
internal airport cards only do 'b'. And I guess it would be pointless to
have 802.11g cards on that WLAN if the Mac is going to drag them down to
its level?

Thanks for the clarification.
