Why is this so When I went into Network Connections, I see the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter. It used to say 'Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter'. In the past, '2' was not a part of the adapter's name. ![]() I suspect there is shell api that might provide the enumeration that the control panel uses to display the virtual adapter. After the driver was installed, under 'Network Adapters', I see 'Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter 2'. Note that the documentation for WlanEnumInterfaces says: My main question is 'How to I detect the presence of a windows virtual wifi adapter?' The drivers that out there now seem to be pretty buggy, and I've found that unless I manually disable the virtual wifi adapter the real adapter will not reliably connect to a wireless access point when commanded by the WLAN api. Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapters are the drivers for Wireless Hosted Network that help in virtualization of a physical wireless adapter into more than one virtual wireless adapter sometimes referred to as Virtual Wi-Fi. The Windows 7 virtual adapter is supposed to be included with any approved Windows 7 wifi drivers. Please take as a given for this question that I need to directly control the wifi adapter using this documented api and can't just leave it up to OS and user. ![]() I have an application that directly controls the windows wifi interface card using the Native Wifi API ( ). Windows 7 has a (neat?) new feature called a 'virtual wireless adapter'.
