zd1211rw gets stuck in 1Mbps

I have this dongle which is using zd1211rw chipset for my wifi connection. However, it seems stuck on 1Mbps with its default set-up. After a search on Google, it seems there is a problem with the current driver implementation, and it won't automatically adjust its transfer rate as it should. A forum suggests the command below to force the speed to 54Mbps.

sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M
You may want to give the above command a try, and see if it helps your speed.
