Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. – Net – 15.68.17013.110 WiFi driver breaks 5GHz connection on the Surface Book (1st Gen i5 with dGPU 256 GB)

The title says it all, I updated the wifi driver to "Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. – Net – 15.68.17013.110", and after that update, I can't connect to a 5GHz wifi connection, I can only connect to 2.4 GHz. when i try to connect to the 5GHz, it says: "Unable to connect to this network". Uninstalling the wifi driver, and restarting the device did help me get the 5GHz connection back to my Surface book, but when i decided to try to install the same driver again, and try to connect to 5GHz again, the same "Unable to connect to this network" appears. Does anyone have this issue?

    Thx. They say that they are working on an update and for now the only solution is to use the older driver (roll back). I can't get any info as to the timing of a fixed driver..

    I just updated both my UniFi AP-AC-Pro to firmware 4.0.54.10625.  Then I updated to the new driver through windows update and had the same problem, would not connect at all.  So, now I've rolled back to an older driver.  This was on a Surface Pro 6.

    On a plus side the new AP firmware did fix a problem that was causing my Fitbit Aria 2 smart scale from not connecting correctly :)
