Because you have a 54Mbps card and a 11Mbps card doesn´t imply that your internet connection for the 802.11G card will be faster. Unless your internet connection exceeds 11Mbps, you won´t see any value in having a 54Mbps card. On the other hand, network connections internally will see a difference in speed as long as you have a 802.11G wireless router.

So basically what I´m saying is that the internet is your bottleneck. If your internet connection is 5Mbps, then it doesn´t matter if your card is capable of 108Mbps, you will still only have a 5Mbps access speed. On the other hand, if your internet connection speed is 30Mpbs, then you would have a reason to get a 54Mbps card.
