I tried it for a bit w/ my 802.11b network (Dlink DWL520 and Linksys B
router).  As long as my recording bitrate was less than 2600 (iirc),
it was fine.  It was at this point that I was maxing out the wireless
throughput.  Any bitrate over that and it would have buffering pauses.

If you have the hardware, give it a try and see if you are happy.
