In any case I imagine there is no point forcing it to use 54Mbit - it will 
negotiate the highest speed it can manage based on signal strength and 
hardware support (for the AP and the card) automatically.

I suspect forcing 54Mbit will either not work at all (because the signal isn't 
strong enough or your hardware doesn't support it), or it will negotiate a 
speed up to 54Mbit (which would result in no functional change).
