Re: pci-half-mini 7260 Wireless AC support 3.13

Although it is a similar setup, no.  I am able to connect on ALL
radios but the AC radio's on the 3702's.  I encounter no bugs, no loss
of connection.  However, I NEVER connect to the AC radio on the AP.  I
know it works due to my Nexus 5 connecting to the AC radio
immediately.  If the 3702 saw that my adapter was AC capable, it would
use the AC radio and not the A/N.  Also, every other device with
wireless AC connects fine without issue, even the same laptop on it's
Windows 8 partition.

If it is AC capable, how do I get it to connect to the AC radio's on
the AP?  It is entirely possible it is something Cisco/Linux related
with how they communicate as well.
