My card (a 4306) seems to be running at 11Mbps. No idea how to change
it: iwconfig doesn't report the current rate (I had to go digging in
sysfs) and trying to change it with iwconfig fails with "Operation not
supported".
Here's the signal info:
Link Quality=228/100 Signal level=-32 dBm Noise level=-70 dBm
The machine is about 3 metres from the AP.
