Comment 0 for bug 1354975

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.
