The universal wireless programming may have been compromised in the updated kernel.
The problem lay somewhere in the kernel itself and the hardware recognition of the Netgear 900.
It seems to see it but act weak. Wireless panel with available connections comes up but the completion of the connection seems restricted somehow.

  Kernel update denies connect w/netgear900

Status in wpasupplicant package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Trusty 14.04.3LTS recent kernel update partially denies connection
  with NetGear900 to Novatel Mifi

  linux-firmware (1.127.18) to 1.127.19
  link's-generic (3.13.0.71.77) to 3.13.0.73.79
  linux-headers-generic (3.13.0.71.77) to 3.13.0.73.79
  linux-image-generic (3.13.0.71.77) to 3.13.0.73.79
  linux-libc-dev (3.13.0-71.114) to 3.13.0-73.116
  linux-tools-common (3.13.0-71.114) to 3.13.0-73.116

  Installed the following packages:
  linux-headers-3.13.0-73 (3.13.0-73.116)
  linux-headers-3.13.0-73-generic (3.13.0-73.116)
  linux-image-3.13.0-73-generic (3.13.0-73.116)
  linux-image-extra-3.13.0-73-generic (3.13.0-73.116)

  Caused some form of loop or failure to complete  which did not recognize or fully complete connection.
  Temporary fix was to drop back to Linux kernel 3.13.0.71.77 under advanced  in Grub

  Same issue for both Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.3LTS  and Linux Mint17.

  Expectation was for the connect to complete
