BSODs in Dell 1550W 802.11ac

I've been getting BSODs when using wireless networking and only then.   I submitted the dumps for analysis and was told the problem was errors in bcmwl63a.sys which is the Dell supplied driver for the 1550W 802.11ac card in this M6800.  Dump files available at request, but too large to attach to a forum post.


Is there any hope for a fixed version of the driver (I'm already running Network_Driver_HFTJF_WN32_7.35.333.0_A03)?


Thanks
Dave

    Did you have the issues out of box?

    Or did they start happeniing after you did Windows Updates?

    Did you have these same issues when you uninstalled the driver and tested all of them, oldest to newest?

    Only noticed it recently as only recently started using wireless.

    BSOD dumps have been analysed and confirmed to be driver problems

    I've not tried the older drivers as it looked like the newer drivers were released to resolve similar problems to those I'm already having ...
