Broadcom released bad drivers for 64 bit OS's to Apple, HP, Dell, and several other manufacturers, leading to consistent BSOD issues. BSOD cause is bcmwl664.sys which is a part of the broadcom drivers for their BCM43xx series wireless controllers. This applies especially to the BCM4322 chip that comes in the new MacBook Pros.
The fix is the latest drivers (5.60.18.8). They can be a little tricky to find, so I posted them here:
http://wikidrivers.com/wiki/Broadcom_BCM43xx_win6x
Package includes both 32bit and 64bit drivers. For Vista and W7 64 bit, unless you have a dell laptop, do not install the included software, but rather use the included INF to manually install the driver, choosing BCM43224AG when given the list of options from the INF file.
This took me half a day to sort out, so I figured I would save some people the time in finding it. If the wiki link does not work let me know and I will host of the file that I have.
