For those who keep getting this problem and have to reboot to be able to connect to the widi adapter, try this:

 

goto Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

 

disable any wireless connections which are labelled as: "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter". Intel my wifi should turn off. Now turn on only one of them which turns ON intel my wifi. (you'll have to experiment which one exactly turn on the intel my wifi). keep the other virtual adapters off.

 

now try and connect - it should work!

 

intel - why does this happen?

 

system this trick works on:

vaio SC series with intel 6250 card, netgear ptv2000
