WaveLAN/IEEE does only 2MB/s ???

Hi there,

I've got a "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN SILVER (IEEE 802.11)":

cardmgr[84]: watching 1 sockets
cardmgr[85]: starting, version is 3.2.4
cardmgr[85]: initializing socket 0
cardmgr[85]: socket 0: Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Adapter
cardmgr[85]:   product info: "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE", 
"Version 01.01", ""
cardmgr[85]:   manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002  function: 6 (network)
cardmgr[85]: executing: 'modprobe orinoco_cs'
...

Although it's a 11MB card I can only set max 2MB/s!

~ # iwconfig eth1 rate auto && iwconfig eth1

eth1      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"imc"  Nickname:"imcDev__00069412"

~ # iwconfig eth1 rate 11M && iwconfig eth1
eth1      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"imc"  Nickname:"imcDev__00069412"
           Mode:Ad-Hoc  Frequency:2.417GHz  Cell: 00:00:00:00:00:00
           Bit Rate=1Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   Sensitivity:1/3
           Retry limit:4   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
           Encryption key:off

           Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
           Rx invalid nwid:0  invalid crypt:0  invalid misc:0

The firmware type seems to be FIRMWARE_TYPE_AGERE. But I don't 
understand to comment about this in orinoco.c...

Any ideas? Any hints?

Thanks a million in advance!

Steven
