So, the hardware sees the wifi cards, but whatever reads the detected hardware
list and populates/links from the Network Connections list doesn't see what it
wants or it does but fails to use the data.
Two off-the-wall guesses:
i). The devices were detected, but something didn't get written correctly at
detection/driver install, thus the next layer up didn't see records with the
right info. Possible fix: Device Manager | remove device. Then install know
good copies of the drivers and redetect.
ii). Windows corruption. The hardware sees the devices, but Windows does not
write the hardware descriptions and set whatever flags are needed for Windows
to use the hardware. Possible fix: Windows repair install.
I'm not knowledgable about windows innards, I'm just thinking knee-bone
thigh-bone and where might it be broken.
