Very cool,

First off, rememebr that 11 is more than the average 10 of a wired ethernet. Of course a lot of backbones and more and more hubs are supporting 100 but 11 is still a lot. It's a whole lot more than the 1.4-1.5 of a T-1 in any case. Also remember that unless one is downloading a large file you are only sending or recieving part of the time. At our school we set up 20 laptops using the internet through one wireless access point all the time. Not a problem.
