Odd, whatever works over ethernet should work over wifi, albeit more slowly.
Most Macs can do Gigabit ethernet which means they can transfer up to
100MB/second. Even a perfect connection on the latest 802.11N wifi peaks
at 300Megabit (.3 Gigabit). I have my laptop and an old Mac tower
hardwire
Quite. This should go some way to explaining why every device on my network
that can be connected using Ethernet, is connected using Ethernet; in practice
this means only the iOS devices are not. I had to get a hole drilled through
the walls, feed cat5e cable through, and installed gigabit swi
er else they're called now.

Cool! I wonder if ethernet would work for the scenario where one needs
to share files betwee
tween PC's, what's wrong with a good old fashioned pen drive, memory
stick, or whatever else they're called now.

Cool! I wonder if ethernet would work for the scenario where one needs
to share files between mac and PC using a PC laptop or desktop and not
say via Bootcamp or Fusion on the Mac. Over wifi it seems unreliable to
say the least.

I have to say, I still prefer a wired connection.
The ethernet protocol, or the entire CSMACD concept is an integral part of
the modern methods - wi'fi, bluetooth, USB; it's the only way all the
devices share the medium.
