Under realistic conditions, I have seen throughput of ~6mbit/sec (half
duplex) over 802.11b.  A single compressed video stream will use about half
your available bandwidth (depending on the quality, of course), not
including the additional traffic required for diskless operation.  I highly
recommend a wired network for this application.
