Update of the December 16th Linux kernel does not fix the issue, return to older version Linux kernel 3.13.0.71.77
Have no idea as to whether this is wpasupplicant or the network manager but there seems to be an additional issue as the Netgear does not "see" a number of usually visible wireless connections (account) in the area (usually a half dozen or so) under either of the kernel updates mentioned..


This may be due more to some change in the accepted security
