the BroadcamWirelessLegacy64 and BroadcamWirelessWin8x64 or whatever most updated driver there is available to make it work.

The middle check box (uncheck the other two), can download all updated drivers onto a flash drive. you reboot into windows, and state the setup.exe located in the bootcamp folder of the flash drive and this fixes everything!
