Nope I already noticed that 1.8.8.3 was available so to that step, I am getting frequent disconnects though, it might have to do with NetworkManager doing background scanning so going to try and it it to stop doing that. The NetGear driver on windows seems to ignore the WMM requirement looks like. Either way that's what the problem was, going to see if i can get this disconnect problem sorted out.
