Default WiFi packet on the 2390-2450Mhz band?

802.11b and 802.11g WiFi networking equipment operates at a range of
frequencies from 2.412 GHz to 2.462 GHz. There's a ham band at 2390 to
2450, and it looks like there's some overlap here. Usually wifi
software asks what country you're in, USA allows WiFi channels 1 to
11, and Europe 1 to 13, Japan allows only channel 14. Seems that some
(most?!) wifi channels are in the ham band, so, with a little more
power, we could do high speed packet as hams with wifi cards. Make
your node name your callsign.

This even vaguely make sense?
