USB 2.0 slower than USB 1.0 with wireless gateway ??



I have a linksys WAG54G wireless-G ADSL gateway with a linksys WUSB54G
USB wireless network adapter. Initially the wireless adapter was
connected to a USB 1.0 port since that was all there was on the PC.
Since I am soon to receive a 2MB ADSL account, I currently only have
dialup, I bought a USB 2.0 4 port PCI card and thereby is the problem.
With the wireless adapter pluged into the USB 1.0 port, the status of
the wireless network shows a speed of 54Mbps, but connect it to the
USB2.0 port and the speed drops to 1.0Mbps. I expected the speed to
increase not decrease. The speed i am reading is shown on the wireless
icon in the system tray and also shown on the gateway status itself. I
loaded the software & drivers before the adaptor was plugged in, so the
software didn't know whether it was going to be connected to 1.0 or
2.0.
Any Ideas what is going wrong, or do I have to set something else up.

Ian
