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.
