See:
<http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/802.11.html>
I presume you're talking about a maximum latency through the MAC
layers, not the IP layers. I don't think there's such a
specification, but I'm too lazy to look through the docs. In
IEEE802.11-1999, on page 205, there is Table 59, which details some of
the typical direct sequence packet timing values. These were modified
in 802.11g.

I suspect there are maximum lantency specifications for 802.11e (QoS)
and for VoIP applications.
