Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
On intrepid, most of the time I get a maximum network speed of around 100kb/s over my wireless connection, while it should be able to do something like 700-800kb/s. Other pc's on the network have no problem achieving this speed and this pc neither running under windows.
NM reports a 54mbps network connection.

My friend had the same problem because the driver you are using sets the minimum speed rate to the device by default.
Try this command in a console and please tell us if it has worked for you. Thanks!
sudo iwconfig ath0 rate 54M
