knetworkmanager is lying to you more than a politician -- that bandwidth is 
IMPOSSIBLE on a g connection.

The *theoretical* limit of a g connection is 45 Mb/s.  The actual real world 
throughput limit of a g connection is 22 Mb/s.  So unless you have three 
radios (or are actually using 802.11n), you ain't gettin' that.

What's the data rate of your source file?  If it's getting close to the 
real-world limit, then forget wireless unless you're living in a corn field 
or bomb shelter.
