How to enable WiFi Direct in Windows 8?

I have a Thinkpad X201 with Windows 8 that has a wireless card like
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/centrino-ultimate-n-6300.html
According to the link, this card should support Wifi Direct, and I am making the wireless driver up to date. And I compiled a C # sample for proxy proximity to
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Proximity-Sample-88129731
However, when I run this application, it tells me: Tag-based search is not supported. Peer viewing is not supported

I am sure that the Wi-Fi switch on the laptop is turned on.
Are there any additional operations necessary to enable Wifi Direct in Windows 8?
And is there anyone who has ever run this sample code in Windows 8? If so, could you tell me the device you are using?

Thanks in advance.

I think you cannot click this using software to turn on the Wi-Fi network. The user may have a manual scroll for the Wifi signal in his notebook.
