wireless speed in network manager

[Anna EdwARds]

Turn off your music when downloading. Sound waves interfere with the wireless siginal by making them 'bend'

Mine is about 6 feet away and it shows me:

Active Connection Information

    interface:                              802.11 WiFi (wlan0)
    Speed:                                   1 Mbp/s
    Driver:                                   b43

    IP Address:                           192.168.1.103
    Broadcast:                            192.168.1.255
    Subnet Mask:                       255.255.255.0
    Default Route:                      192.168.1.1
    Primary DNS:                        71.243.0.12
    Secondary DNS:                   68.237.161.12
    Hardware Address:             xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I realize that the slower the speed the further the distance,
but Sometimes I'd like to have more speed when watching a video or 
downloading a file.
