Wireless Networking Problem

I keep getting this message and have no idea how to fix it:

Wireless networking problem

You received this message because hardware or software in your computer
caused Windows to shut down unexpectedly and restart. This is a serious
problem, commonly referred to as a stop error or blue screen.

Although the specific cause of this problem is not known, it appears to be
related to wireless networking.


I went through all the steps it suggested up to the step that told me to do
this. The wireless adapter that I have is:
Name [00000008] Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card
Adapter Type Ethernet 802.3
Product Type Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card
Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\bcmwl6.sys

The Fault Bucket I found is: 0xD1_bcmwl6+658b8

And this is my System info:

Re: Wireless Networking Problem

there was a recent windows update that offered a new Broadcom
wireless driver. start your computer without wireless support (is
there a hardware button of key combo to do this?) or safe mode and
either rollback the driver through device manager or do a system
restore to a time before this started. then go to windows update and
HIDE the broadcom driver.

not sure this IS your issue, but it does seem likely.

Re: Wireless Networking Problem

I've been 'round and 'round with Dell on this. Problem not solved, but I'll
report back here if/when I'm successful.

Trying Barb's suggestion now...
