My guess is that Intel removed SoftAP, Hosted Network support from their latest driver as IBSS ( Native 802.11 Miniport Drivers (Windows Drivers) ) is deprecated by Microsoft and might stop working by upgrading Windows in a unknown future.

Install the 8260 driver for Windows 8.1 on your Windows 10.Rolling back to 18.33.0.1 (Windows 8.1) driver enables what's needed to connect: I ran in to the same issue trying to connect to a IBSS network on Windows 10 using Intel Dual band Wireless-AC 8260 Driver 18.40.0.9. I found the windows 10 64bit driver searching the web, don't have the link now: Here is a copy of the message (just in case). In my case I couldn't get it to work using version 18.33.0.1, but it did work using version 18.32.0.5. If I setup bridged networking using the WiFi adapter, the guest VM gets and ip from dhcp, I can ping the guest IP from anywhere on the network, but the guest network traffic (TCP and ICMP) doesn't even reach the gateway. I will repost my results.Using the information found at: /thread/102972 I did get it to work on my Windows 10 Dell Inspiron_7568_2-in-1. I have a Lenovo Y700 laptop with an Intel AC8260 wireless adapter, Windows, VM Workstation 12.5.

What I will do as a last ditch effort is partition the SSD install a copy of Windows 7 Enterprise 圆4 SP1 and install the drivers, then point Windows 10 to upgrade the drivers and force the selection from the Windows 7 C:\Windows\INF folder and see if that makes progress. I haven’t been able to extract the files yet from the installer to do an “administrative install” and hand pick the Windows 7 drivers, but have not put much time into it. It resulted in the same drivers installed as Windows 10 with no IBSS. Windows 7 SP1 was not an option to select, so I tried Windows 8.1. Apparently Compatibility Mode passes the RTM version info to to the application and it refused to install unless SP1 was applied in Windows 7. I looked at the INF files it installed and it was clearly commented in the INF that it was for the newer Windows driver model.Īttempting to spoof the installer to install drivers for Windows 7, I ran the installer in Compatibility Mode for Windows 7. For example, the Windows 7 drivers installed just fine, and but IBSS was not available. The drivers from Intel’s site appear to be very similar if not the same files and based on what OS it detects it installs drivers for that OS.
