Bug Description

Binary package hint: wireless-tools

$ iwlist eth1 rate
eth1 12 available bit-rates :
          0.012 kb/s
          0.018 kb/s
          0.024 kb/s
          0.036 kb/s
          0.048 kb/s
          0.072 kb/s
          0.096 kb/s
          0.108 kb/s
          0.002 kb/s
          0.004 kb/s
          0.011 kb/s
          0.022 kb/s
          Current Bit Rate=1 Mb/s

Just weird... Shouldn't available bitrates read as 1 Mb/s; 11Mb/s; 54Mb/s etc etc?

I'm using bcm43xx as driver for:

0000:02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company: Unknown device 12f4
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 209
        Memory at d0200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]

Changing severity as everything works with these weird bit rates.

it looks like this is fixed in the upcoming release. If this can't be reproduced anymore we should close it.
