Just copy/paste the following statements *once* line by line to a
console/terminal:
sudo su
echo -e '#!/bin/sh\niwconfig eth1 rate 5.5M auto'
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/fixed-rate
echo -e '#!/bin/sh\niwconfig eth1 rate 5.5M auto'
/etc/network/if-up.d/fixed-rate
exit
Now disable/enable your
waddayaknow, previous comment was not entirely correct. It should have
read:
sudo su
echo -e '#!/bin/sh\niwconfig eth1 rate 5.5M auto'
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/fixed-rate
echo -e '#!/bin/sh\niwconfig eth1 rate 5.5M auto'
/etc/network/if-up.d/fixed-rate
chmod a+x
I can confirm this bug and that the line 'sudo iwconfig eth1 rate 5.5M fixed'
solves this issue on a Dell Latitude D610
with Broadcom BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller

Intel has released the free software 2D/3D drivers for this chipset. See
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/
Note: While these drivers represent significant work at both Tungsten
Graphics and Intel—as our first release of this code—they're still in
need of significant testing, tuning, and bug fixing
