Bug Description

maximum speed of my connection is reported 54Mbit/s by Network Manager as well as the Fritz!Box router. As I am only 2 meters away from the router I think there should be more speed possible.

I am also wondering why the "n" is missing in the iwconfig output:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"Schiess16"
          Mode:Managed Frequency:2.472 GHz Access Point: 00:24:FE:4A:63:C1
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
          Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:on
          Link Quality=66/70 Signal level=-44 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

this is a fresh install of Maverick final with latest kernel installed.
