Any wifi protocol savvy people who can explain this:

iwconfig wlan0
Maybe it's because I'm also connected over ethernet, so wifi is not being used, so it's in powersaving mode of some kind..? See if your rate goes up/down if you're actively transferring a bunch of data.

My rate remains constant at 18mb/s


What I've observed is[1]  ( No activity on wlan0 )  Bit Rate is 1MB/s
[1]-----------------
 iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:"cisco"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.447 GHz Access Point: 00:25:9C:89:DX:FC
          Bit Rate=1 Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=68/70  Signal level=-42 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:108  Invalid misc:4   Missed beacon:0

Sending some data through wlan0 ( may be ping yahoo.com ) Bit Rate is 150MB/s

[2]-------------

iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:"cisco"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.447 GHz Access Point: 00:25:9C:89:DX:FC
          Bit Rate=150 Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=69/70  Signal level=-41 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:102  Invalid misc:4   Missed beacon:0


May be this can clear the matter :-)

I think your card has automatic power reduction mode
when idle - I had a card like that that refused to honor
iwconfig wlan0 power off
So, I got rid of it - because it had such a long lag time
of nearly half a minute to get back up to full speed.
But the current situation is that it stays fixed at 18mbps
whether active or not.
