One of them is a Brother brand wireless printer and it has a 54G card,
the other is a windows vista laptop and has 801.11N (300) card, and
the third is an Apple MacBookPro with an 802.11N (300) card).

I had a lot of work backlog jam, so I did not have the
time to switch back to the Atheros.
But I just tried it on the rtl card. Speed rate remains at 18 mb/s

# iwconfig wlan1 rate 54G
# iwconfig wlan1
wlan1     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"Private"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.452 GHz  Access Point: 
00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE
          Bit Rate=18 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr=2346 B   Fragment thr=2346 B
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=70/70  Signal level=-32 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:34   Missed beacon:0

# iwconfig wlan1 rts off frag off
# iwconfig wlan1
wlan1     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"Private"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.452 GHz  Access Point: 
00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE
          Bit Rate=18 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=35/70  Signal level=-75 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:35   Missed beacon:0

So, bit rate remained 18mb/s but look at what happened  to
the link quality and signal level!!! Went to hell!!
