Hello Gent,

when checking driver icon and connection, see blank details

I updated driver with last driver 10.0.0.251 still same problem
Kept driver with windows driver 3.0.1.154 still problem.
I've to uninstall then install driver many times to get back working
I used to work in windows 8 have no wifi problem, this problem appeared after installing windows 8.1 preview.
So please any idea to overcome that problem ?
I think that this driver is incompatible with 8.1 or that driver not start on windows log on.

Thanks Guys

Unless someone responds with an 8.1 fix for your specific hardware configuration , you may be out of luck so I hope you have prepared a way to recover to Windows 8. Good luck.

Really I knew where that problem came from, I noticed that problem comes from Virtual Box Program, after installing it this problem exist, after uninstalling the problem goes, Problem due to Virtual box bridged network, so if you know how to modify in Registry to avoid that conflict or problem,

It can happen so if you have installed any incompatible VPN application also.
