No. VirtualWiFi stops MEDIA_DISCONNECT messages from going up (read paper for details). So, you will be unable to monitor the state of the network by looking at the Network Connections window. We recommend using “VirtualWiFihelper.exe -op getSSID” to check if VirtualWiFi is able to connect to a network.
