    USB Wi-Fi Adapter Disabling

    Is it on Windows 8's compatibility list (check MS website- forgot link)?

    I had an issue with one Wi-fi adapter and it wasn't listed as compatible- All was well when I swapped it out with one on the compatibility list

    Virtual Wi-fi Adapter

    Hi, I'm using my laptop as a second screen for my desktop. (by pressing win + p) For some reason, this feature is only available in Windows if your desktop has a wi-fi adapter. Funny thing is, that after I connect to my laptop with wi-fi, I can remove the adapter and it still works. I just managed to brake my adapter, so I was thinking if I can create a virtual wi-fi adapter somehow just to enable this option. Any suggestions?

    USB Wi-Fi Adapter Disabling

    I have tried reinstalling windows, no help at all and it didn't do this on windows 7.

    I'm not sure if its on the compatibility list or not, i will have to check.

    I'm not sure what that is, I will look in to it though. As for the AMD USB filter driver. I assume anything is possible.
