It looks like Intel may have finally fixed this bug in the latest PROset/Wireless package, version 16.1.1, which was just released a few days ago, on August 7. I haven't tried it on Windows 8 yet, but I installed this package on my laptop with an internal Centrino Advanced-N 6230 adapter, running Windows 7 64-bit, and it brought the driver to version 15.9.05, dated 6/16/2013. I am apparently now able to successfully connect to the wireless hotspot on my Verizon Incredible 4G LTE (aka HTC Fireball model ADR6410LVW) running Android 4.0.4 without bluescreening. Prior to installing this latest driver, the laptop would consistently BSOD in under minute after connecting to the hotspot.
