Alexy,
Thanks.
Your guess is correct. If I disable those network drivers, then wireless
display behaves as normal. so, it is the network drivers causing the issue.
I noted windows 8.1 has a wifi direct virtual network adapter, perhaps, vbox
shouldn't bridge that adapter?
Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection* 12:

Can you install VBox without network drivers? (no bridge and no host-mode)
