** Description changed:

- System loads 7260-8 firmware default. (Currently replaced with the -9
- ucode, won't load because API > Version Max)
- 
- Tested against 2.4ghz APs (Apple, Netgear, Linksys).
- 
  I experience frequent disconnects and auth issues, never more than 30
  minutes without a disconnect. Sometimes dozens of disconnects in a few
  minutes.
  
- The failure to load -8 loaded -7 instead. Which hasn't experienced the
- disconnects.
+ This happens with the default 7260-8 firmware.
+ Tried replacing the -8 with -9 ucode. Failed to load due to API version. This loaded the -7 driver which seems to be more stable.
+ 
+ Tested against 2.4ghz APs (Apple, Netgear, Linksys).
