Q: Windows 8.1 wifi driver problem
I am trying to install Windows 8.1 Pro (retail version) on a brand new Macbook Air using Bootcamp. I updated OSX including the latest firmware update then I created the USB flash drive media (no ISO) following the instructions at
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only
Everything went well except that I cannot establish any wifi connection from Windows. It seems that for some reason Bootcamp installs the wrong wifi chip drivers. I have run again the Windows support software setup from the USB disk, same problem.
Any suggestions?

That is the correct controller.
I don't think those a/b/g drivers will work; it needs to the a/c driver. Is there another section for Broadcom? I seem to recall seeing two different sections for Broadcom drivers, but I can't remember what the title of the second section was called. They were right next to each other in the list though.
