Wireless speed issues

[Suddy86]

Hi All,
Am new to SUSE 11.0, have previously used some of the earlier versions.
The issue I am having is that whilst my wireless is able to connect and I am able to browse the internet, it is very slow.
Currently my iwconfig is giving an output of:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wmaster0  no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"BaseStation"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:1C:DF:40:78:C7
          Bit Rate=1 Mb/s   Tx-Power=27 dBm

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0

Which I notice has my bitrate set to 1mb/s. Both the router and card are 54mbps and run as such under xp/vista/suse 10.2 (not ran this recently).

I have searching other threads and suggestions but to no avail. Can anybody assist please?

Thanks,

David

Forgot to add, the card is an RT2500.

You have at least to add the firmware (rt73.bin) in /lib/firmware. Perform an advanced search in this forum against my nick. I have already solved this issue since i have (also) this stick

Hi, I am currently at work but will give this a try when I get home.
Just a quick question about the rt73.bin, will this work as in you are using a USB wifi stick whereas I am using a PCI wifi card?
Thanks

Actually i cannot tell because i don't have it but since the chip is the same it should work
