Why does VirtualWiFi not work with my card?
VirtualWiFi will not work over cards whose drivers don’t forward packets that have a source address. This functionality is required since VirtualWiFi virtual miniports already have a MAC address. Another reason VirtualWiFi could fail is when the wireless card does not support packet filters NDIS_PACKET_TYPE_DIRECTED and NDIS_PACKET_TYPE_BROADCAST. Q: The “VirtualWiFi install” command never completes. It gets to a point, and continues to wait. A: This happens on non-English versions of XP. You will have to manually install VirtualWiFi as described in the answer to the next question.
