I downloaded a recording from my MythTV box, so plain http file transfer,
and it peaked over 5MB/s! Looking at iwconfig the max connection speed (I
assume this is aggregate) was 144.4Mbit.

I then did an scp transfer from the laptop to my desktop and it averaged
around 2.5MB/s so that's still pretty respectable for 2.4GHz wifi.

The few limitations of the software notwithstanding, Ubiquity seems to make
decent stuff for almost consumer grade prices. I need to do some testing on
a virgin install since I don't want to mess up my working installation but
I plan on packaging the UniFi software for Fedora. Unfortunately due to it
being non-FOSS it will have to go into RPM Fusion non-free but that's
better than not being packaged at all!

Thanks,
Richard
