#INSTALL MICROSOFT VIRTUAL WIFI MINIPORT ADAPTER DRIVERS#
A set of new Intel WiFi drivers made available just a couple weeks ago, version 13.0.0.107 if you’re playing along, finally adds the necessary driver-level support for the new native Virtual WiFi technology in Windows 7.Īfter downloading and installing the drivers ( 32-bit here, 64-bit here), assuming your WiFi chipset supports the functionality (which I can verify the 5300 can but 3945 cannot), a new “Wireless Network Connection” with the adapter name “Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport” will automatically appear in your network connections.
If you have a reasonably new laptop with an Intel WiFi chipset then I have some good news.
