The card goes to 2 MBit if it can`t find an access point in range ... mode managed is correct ... Perhaps you have to set the channel (frequency) if you haven`t > Clearly the Access Point MAC listed in the above output is wrong Yes, because your airport card couldn`t find your access point > but I'm not sure what the cause is.
