Ubuntu 8.04 inside of Windows? Do you mean in a virtual machine?

If it is really inside a VM, you probably don't have direct access to the 
bare hardware but you are looking at a virtual network device. Then the 
speed displayed by NM is probably not relevant. The real speed is 
probably higher, or did you measure the throughput and it really was 
1Mbps?
