Linux zd1211 Wireless Speed Fix

For some reason my Belkin 54Mbps USB wifi adapter operates at 1 Mb/s under Linux. It's detected as the following by lsusb: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 050d:705c Belkin Components F5D7050 Wireless G Adapter v4000 [Zydas ZD1211B] If I do a iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M the card starts working at 54Mb/s. To fix this more permanently I added the following to my /etc/network/interfaces file: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp         wpa-ssid 56k         wpa-psk secret         wireless-rate 54M
