Total speed of USB 1.1 is 12 Mbps, but one single device can only use 8 Mbps total. That's not the bottleneck, though. Those USB-wireless adapters have a lot of software overhead. When I used one on my iMac G3, I regularly saw lots of extra red and green in the CPU history of Activity Monitor. I switched back to ethernet and ran a cable because of that overhead.
