I think you're getting confused between bits and bytes... An 11Mbit connection (like 802.11b in ideal conditions) will max out at about 600-700KB/s. 200KB/s is certainly low, but, not if there's some type of interference. I get 400-500KB/s over 802.11b, tunneled over a FreeSWan IPSec interface. It would be best to try some other benchmarks before settling the problem on Samba. How fast does an ftp transfer go?
