This doesn't answer your question in the least, but it may be that the
reason for this limitation in the 770 is that the hardware can't
effectively move data around any faster than 11Mbps.  I know I've never
come close to reaching that speed in my network transfers (although in
fairness most of my transfers are via SSH and either read or write from/to
the MMC so I'm affected by bottlenecks that may not apply to you).
