USB NIC's and wireless networks

[OutHouse]

has anybody used a USB NIC? if you have what do you think about it?

also have any of you played any multiplayer games on a wireless network? what kind of performance did you get?

USB NIC's would be stuck at 10mbps due to the limited bandwith of the USB port and wireless, it would be around a 5mbps connection not that advirtised 11mbps preformance (raw data). Games should run fine

but they make USB NIC's 10, 10/100 and 100 so you are saying that evern if i have a 100MB USB NIC i will only get 10MB speed because the USB Port cant go any faster?
