Would this WI-FI adapter give me wireless display aka WIDI.?

Hi I just bought a Compaq laptop with a Broadcom wi-fi module installed in it. It also has a core I3 370M processor installed and 7 home premium for an Os.

If I purchased the adapter from the link below, would that give me WIDI and Mywifi on my laptop after installing the drivers etc?

I want to be certain that it would give me wireless display, and my WIfi to my Compaq prior to buying.

Thanks for the input in advance

Update:

After the one response I contacted the seller who in turn laughed at you (no offense), And he explained that although it is an entry level module, that it does in fact support both my wifi and widi when coupled with a compatible CPU and direct linked the following in his response.

He also politely stated that if I wanted a 3rd opinion to ask on the Intel support forums instead of Yahoo answers.When I did I immediately got 4 hits in 5 min stating that yes it would work when coupled with my I3 370M. One response was from the moderator himself.

I'm sorry but can't in good conscious give you best answer on this one sorry.

    This card would not provide you with a wireless display. This card is just a wireless network card for a laptop. I hope this helps!
