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.

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). ** Also affects: linux Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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

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

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 -- 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

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. -- 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

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 using iwconfig to boost up bit rate isn't solution. I now have kernel 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu running and that is having this bug. I also tried booting on older kernel (2.6.28-18.59 that was already installed to my computer) and then signal level was back to 80-95% and iwconfig showed bitrate 54Mb. So it seems that something between those kernel releases has broken ZyDAS ZD1211 chipset drivers.

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 from the router and there is only single wall (6 cm concrete) between them. The wall does not have iron in it and the router has been set to send the signal at 100 % power. The signal is 36...41 % and ping shows some dropped packets between the router and my computer. Is there any other solution to this than getting a line of sight - which seems to improve the ratio to 67 % over 3 meters, but still that is not even near full ratio which I thought it should be over this distance.
