[Nottingham] The arguments with WiFi continue

[Jason Irwin]

Minor addendum:
LinSSID is a rather nice scanning tool, and it states that the 2.4GHz and
5GHz networks are doing 54Mbps, yet my WiFi card is an Intel "Centrino
Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak]" which is (according to the marketing buff) a
300Mbps card. 54Mbps is the limit for 802.11g, but I should be on 802.11n
(I even forced the router to only allow N devices).

I can't help but shake the feeling I am missing something fundamental, but
have no clue what it is.

In my simplistic view, if I have a 300Mbps router and a 300Mbp card; I
should get 300Mbps (or somewhere close to it anyway).
