    Just upgrade wireless driver to 13.1.1.1, but in My Wifi Utility always shows no supported adapter was found.
    Check the web site and it seems 5100AGN should be supported.
    Can Intel Wifi Link 5100agn support Intel My Wifi in Sony Z?
    Any one can advise?

    I am using Z46 with Win7 X64

    The Intel 5100 AGN is capable of that utility, or at least that's what the Intel page says. Have you tried un-installing and re-installing the My WiFi Utility? Or possibly updating the utility?

    Make sure that there are two virtual wifi miniports installed in network connections as well, and that they're enabled.

    It won't detect anything without those.

    I know i'm reviving an old thread, but I wanted to say THANK YOU.
    I coudn't figure out why My Wifi wasn't working, so I looked in network connections and sure enough - both virtual wifi Miniports were disabled.

    Thanks again.
