Title:
network-manager-gnome reports incorrect wireless rate of 1Mb/s for
54Mb/s capable zd1211rw based card
Davide,
Please remain patient and courteous.
Note that this bug was wrongly set as affecting the Linux project,
whereas it should have been set to affect the 'linux' package to get
attention from developers. I've fixed this now.
To get to know more about how to triage and sort bugs reported
NetworkManager is not responsible for this, since the same bad bit rate and
signal values are visible with iwconfig.
I marked this bug affecting also the Linux Kernel directly (since the zd1211rw
driver is upstream).

Same issue for me: I have a Digicom USB Wave 54 dongle, that uses the zd1211rw
driver, on Ubuntu 9.10 i386.
Even if my AP is just a meter away and in the line of sight, iwconfig reports
around 40/100 signal and 1 Mb/s rate.
BUT, it is actually going faster than this, because doing an ADSL speed
Same issue here - using a zydas dongle and the zd1211rw kernel module -
I can change the speed using:
sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M
however it reverts to 1MB whenever the system is restarted

I'm having this issue also. The speed's not just being reported wrong,
it really is slow. Transferring files over the network Nautilus reports
speeds under 100 KB/sec. Booting an older Kernel per Jaako's suggestion
resolves the problem. In my case the adapter is only a meter from the
router.
I have the same problem with a-link usb wifi. I just updated to Ubuntu
from 9.04 to 9.10 and my signal level dropped from 80-95% to 20-30%.
Also iwconfig is telling that link only 1Mb. If I force link back to
54Mb with iwconfig, then it works only couple of minutes and then
connection is lost, so
Same problem with my usb dongle (A-LINK) using the zd1211rw module.
Bit Rate shows 1 MB/s unless manually set otherwise (see bug:468465 in
launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/468465)
Also, I have very poor signal ratio, even when the dongle is less than 5 meters
