    No, it says Intel 5100 because that is what it is. You can't change adapter types by changing drivers. If you NEED to update driver, you have to use one of the last 4 in the Intel list, depending on your operating system.

    These actually work in Widows 7 with 5Ghz where as 12.2.x.x and before didn't .
    These also allow you to use your WLAN card as an access point.

    Getting good performance from these as well.
