Broadcom Wireless Problems in Windows 7 build 7057
I’m currently running Windows 7 build 7057 on my MBP. I recently update from build 7048. However, I had the same problem in both build, my Broadcom wireless on my MacBook Pro would sporadically stop working. Sometimes it would take a few minutes to fail, sometimes it would take hours. Once it even kept working all night. I was beginning to think I might have to roll back to build 7000. I was wondering about updated driver, but was having problems find them.
Finally I found my answer, why scouring the forums, someone mentioned they used the latest Broadcom Drivers from the HP Site. So, I gave it a shot and download this driver. So far its been working great and I haven’t had an problems with my wireless. Here is a screen shot of the latest drivers and version number. I’ll update this post if I discover any problems.
On another note, it would be great if Apple would keep up with these Windows drivers as well. I know…the MBP is supposed to be fore Mac OS, but there are more and more people running Windows on their Mac’s and boot camp just isn’t being updated regularly enough to have the most recent Windows drivers. Either boot camp needs more regular updates or Apple should provide Windows driver downloads on their site.
Thanks! Gonna try that! Just upgraded 7000 to 7057 on my MB.
Having the same problem since i’m running Windows 7 . The Build i’m using is 7048 and i still got it even with the driver from the post above. I noticed that my wireless card freeze when i started to download something (or when i generate more traffic ) witch i really don’t like. Anybody using this driver and witch version of windows 7 ??
I personally didn’t try this fix with build 7048…hopefully someone else has?
. I tended to notice the same with mine as well that the problems seemed to happen as I generated more traffic. As an update to my situation, with build 7057 I haven’t had any problems since the upgraded driver. Boro, if possible maybe try grabbing the 7057 build and see if that takes care of it.
just installed the hp update. thank u!
i hope this works on build 7057
Even with build 7057 i still have the problem. I installed the driver above and still nothing. I’m using bootcamp 2.1 and my torrent client is uTorrent. A little bit after i start download something my card freezes.
Same problem with build 7057 . I installed the driver above and still nothing. I’m using bootcamp 2.1. Anybody with MBP and windows 7 with no problem with the wireless card ?? I’m thinking about installing build 7000 or maybe it’s not the build …
sorry about the double-post
Same problem with 7057 even withe the driver above? Any other solution before i try with build 7000 ? I’m using BootCamp 2.1

I spent several days using many drivers and the driver above finally nailed it.
