Anti-Cheat problem: Incompatible driver c/windows/system32/qcamain10x64.sys

Decided to redownload BF1 to play, and I keep getting the error of the driver c/windows/system32/qcamain10x64.sys being incompatible. Now, I'm not the most tech savvy person, but I managed to trace that specific driver back to what I believe is a Qualcomm Atheros Driver. 

The issue here is that... That's my Network Adapter Driver. Disabling it cuts the Internet to my Desktop. It makes it so where the option to connect to any internet source impossible (Like the Wi-Fi dropdown menu on Windows 11 doesn't even show up if the driver is disabled.) 

I've already tried Reinstalling and repairing both the game (I bought it on Steam so I just verified the file integrity), and he EA Anti-Cheat. I've also tried running both as Administrator, and disabling Fullscreen Optimizations, but to no avail. So now 'm basically stuck with a broken game due to it's Anti-Cheat System. Any help would be appreciated!

    EA anticheat is blocking the wifi driver because it's an outdated version which has vulnerabilities that cheat developers can exploit to cheat in Battlefield.

    Is the wifi card part of a laptop, motherboard, or a standalone PCIe expansion card? If so please name the manufacturer and model number.

    I would try downloading a driver update from the wifi card manufacturer.

    If there's no update available from the manufacturer of the wifi card then I would download the wifi driver update from Windows Update.

    What's the driver version you're seeing for Qcamain10x64.sys in Windows Device Manager?

    Look for Qualcomm Atheros Wireless under Network Adapters. Double click on it and go to driver tab. Next click on driver details and find Qcamain10x64.sys version number in the list.
