There is the theoretical maximum bandwith and there is reality.

When I try to exchanges files between my laptop (XP) and my desktop (XP)
through Remote desktop via 54-bit WLan at home I get only ~250KByte/s.
So I keep plugging an RJ45 cable between the gigabit lan sockets whenever
I need to transfer serious amounts of data (which yields ~7 MByte/s)
