WiFi adapter/drivers doesn't work UP Core Win10

I've successfully got my UP Core running Win10. Very nice too.
All the driver installations from the regular UP Board worked just fine, except the one for the wifi adapter, where the RealTek drivers it installs fail to work.
Are there separate drivers for the UP Core Wifi adapter?
I don't yet have an antenna, but I can't see how that should affect the drivers.
Many thanks, Tom

Temporarily using an external usb wifi dongle ... would like to make use of the internal wifi.
Please advice which drivers to use for the UP Core. It looks like its an Ampak 6214A chipset, but have failed to find any drivers for it.

Struggling to find Ampak 6214A windows drivers.
No point having a wifi chip without drivers!!!
Can we get some assistance from UP!
Regards
We are also waiting for the drivers to come out so to be able to purchase the product.
Is there any time frame as to when the UpCore product will have tested drivers and be fully functional? We'd like to buy a few for our industrial product hence the question.
Thank you
I can't find any information about Ampak as a manufacturer, other than that the parent brand is Broadcom. But a search for Broadcom (AP)6214(A) is also fruitless :-(
It's certainly a different Broadcom chip from the one on the Edison. Same drivers?? Unlikely I guess.

Can't find Windows drivers for that either
If someone finds a solution to this, please make a post about it, it would be greatly appreciated.
All very confusing
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/AMPAK : "AMPAK combines Broadcom Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips in single modules."
AMPAK AP6212 - SDIO Broadcom BCM43430 1T1R WiFi/BT4.0 (802.11bgn) QFN44
It seems likely that 6214 also uses BCM43430. So we may need to find drivers for that.
Here are some linux drivers that might work: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/brcm80211
Here are drivers of AP6214A. We will soon upload these drivers to "downloads" section.
Windows Driver
Linux driver
"Win10_12.0.1.970_UART_x86-x64_Installer\"
This successfully installed the drivers, and got the BlueTooth working
The Wifi device is also now recognised as "Broadcom 802.11n Wireless SDIO Adapter".
but the drivers don't work.
The files it installs are:
43430r0rtecdc.bin
43430r1rtecdc.bin
bcmdhd63.sys
vwifibus.sys
However, the device status gives the following error:
"This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful."
See image attached.
Unfortunately not working yet for Win10 wifi. Please see previous post.
UP guys, If you think you got it sorted out, take a brand new one out of the box, install windows, and then install the driver you think will work. When it does, then and only then tell us you have the drivers.
"New" drivers only install bluetooth.
Broadcom wifi unable to start error!

Appreciate those here who are reporting the drivers failure and/or testing other items for the community. If any other major issues please report. We'll be standby for the next 3~6months until this settles. Sad beginning really
Sorry for the imprecise information.
Here it is:
I found a working Windows 10 WiFi driver
Thanks
