The only similar situation I found online was on an Intel support board and it appears the issue was never resolved.
So, with a PC, tablet, or other Windows 8.1 device, this means easily shared content on a larger screen.
With it, users with a Miracast-enabled device can share content to that display. I would rather not reformat at this point, so I am looking for anything at all at this point. The Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter is a very simple deviece, and it connect to an HDTV, monitor, or projector. This led Dell to believe that there is something wrong with the Windows installation and asked me to reformat my computer. The Intel 6300 worked great under Ubuntu. I decided to try booting up my laptop from my flash drive that has Ubuntu 11.04 installed on it. This driver did not help wireless networks to show up either, though the device manager seems to think the adapter is fine.

Talking with Dell tech support yielded no better results as all they did was point me to Intel's site to downloaded the most up to date driver (14.0.something) and install it. I should also mention I am running Windows 7 Pro 圆4. The adapter showed up immediately in Device Manager and in the network adapter list, however no wireless networks are detected by Windows. When I received the card, I swapped the 1501 with the 6300, booted up the machine, and downloaded and installed the drivers from Dell's site. These cards apparently only support a throughput of up to 72 Mbps, so I called Dell and they shipped me an Intel Ultimate-N 6300. 7 (32-bit or 64-bit) Microsoft Windows 8 (32-bit or 64-bit) Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32-bit or 64-bit) The hardware or software requirements for the wireless display adapter vary by operating system. I have a Dell Latitude E5510 that came originally with a broadcom 1501 wireless card.
