Would this affect WiFi too?

I have an Ad-Hoc net set up and the transfer is painfully slow

I get  around 85Kb/s

There is also a wired WAN on the server

USB MSI Dongle in the server using ndiswrapper

WiFi adapter
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Built in Broadcom 43XX in a Lappy - again using ndiswrapper
