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 test (like www.speedtest.net) it reports correctly my ADSL line speed (around 7 Mb/s), so the reported "1 Mb/s" speed is obviously wrong. This appears to be a quite common issue, see http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309703 -- network-manager-gnome reports incorrect wireless rate of 1Mb/s for 54Mb/s capable zd1211rw based card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
