if the adapter is 54mbps with the 2.0 port how fast would it be with a 1.1 port instead.?

Read the following, it will help you figure this out...
let’s first talk about the USB 2.0 standard. This standard, also known as High-Speed USB, is an evolutionary development of USB 1.1. It was intended for fast peripheral devices, like scanners, digital cameras and external drives. The maximum theoretical speed of USB 2.0 exceeds that of USB 1.1 by 40 times: 480Mbit/s against 12Mbit/s! USB 2.0 is backward-compatible with USB 1.1, thus it’s possible to plug a USB 1.1 device into a USB 2.0 connector. In this case, the data-exchange speed would be no more than 12Mbit/s – the speed of USB 1.1. Moreover, you can also connect USB 2.0 devices to USB 1.1 ports! Thanks to the backward compatibility as well as to higher bandwidth of USB 2.0 bus, this interface is rapidly gaining popularity. All modern chipsets have integrated USB 2.0 controllers. Mainboards that are not based on USB 2.0 supporting chipsets often carry additional USB 2.0 controllers onboard. They are often implemented by means of VIA VT6202 chips or NEC controllers. As for software support, all manufacturers of USB 2.0 controllers offer optimized, stable drivers for different Windows versions. Thus, we see that the PC market has moved from USB 1.1 to 2.0 and it’s now very reasonable to use up all the advantages of the high-speed USB 2.0 for data storage and transportation devices, including flash drives.

The USB 1.1 bus offers 1.5Mbps (read: Megabits per second) and 12 Mbps (not 11Mbps). It is accurate that this should be in excess of your internet bandwidth but if you are communicating with other computers on the same wireless network (i.e. another computer in the house) it will be slower than a USB 2.0 bus which offers 480Mbps. Although with wireless you'll max out at 54Mbps instead of 480Mbps using a standard 802.11g adapter (which this one is).

PCI is unquestionably properly worth it if that's a computer. the only difficulty with USB is constrained connectivity and variety. Plus the plug and play decision motives issues while the workstation is became on and rancid.

11 Mbps which is way faster than the internet anyway, its only a detriment to you on your own lan..
