Hello Kevin,
By checking the specifications, the Intel® WiFi Link 5100 does not contain a Bluetooth radio. This card does WiFi Only, and creating a Bluetooth WPAN is not possible.
What you are seen as a Bluetooth device is probably a third-party hardware installed by your OEM (such as an add-on card or dongle inside the laptop). Usually the management software to create a WPAN with that device is supported directly with the manufacturer.
Now, Intel® My Wi-Fi Dashboard will work similar, but using the wifi radio. You may want to check these links for reference:
