I had some problems using a usb wireless adapter and the same driver.
The master backend/frontend system would be buffering in the frontend
for no apparent reason(!) and would occasionally lock up completely.
I noticed that the usb controller was sharing an interrupt with one of
my capture cards and decided to try running without it, and the system
stabilized (magic!).   So I got an external wireless bridge instead.
I didn't get all scientific and figure out why, because the wife
acceptance factor was waning and I needed to "run clean" for a while
and devote time to other pursuits.

Unfortunately I can't speak to wireless-g bandwidth being capable of
streaming mythtv or not because I haven't had time to set up a remote
frontend yet.
