What are these virtual wifi miniport adapters ? I remember i removed them but i am seeing those again. How to remove the adapters from the list which i don't have?

The Virtual adapters are part of Windows, and will return when deleted when you go to use your wifi card (The Intel wifi link). The Broadcom is your Ethernet connection. I would recommend leavin all four in there and not worrying about the extra two, unless they show up with a yellow exclamation point

My system freezes when i try to connect to wifi second time. I read on some site that having multiple network adapter can cause this issue. Anyways i will create another question asking about this freezing problem. – Rakesh Dec 30 '11 at 16:12
@Rakesh Absolutely, you should. I haven't heard of that issue though, so I'll probably star it for reference – Luke Dec 30 '11 at 17:32
That would generally only be for multiple PHYSICAL network adapters. These are not physical adapters and so would probably not be the cause of such an issue. – music2myear Dec 30 '11 at 20:04
