Is this with the WiFi or the wired connection? There are two
possibilities really; (1) 0.8.1 cannot handle reading the bitrate on
higher speed wifi connections (ie, 802.11N bitrates) due to kernel
limitations, but this is fixed in NM 0.9 development builds.  Second is
that the wifi driver has a bug where it either cannot transmit at the
higher bitrates, or it does not report them correctly.
