In PowerShell 3.0, WSMAN is a part of the Microsoft.WSMan.Management module which is not loaded by default. If you execute one of the Management module commands, PowerShell implicitly loads the module and the WSMAN drive is visible. 

PS> Test-WSMan

wsmid           : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/identity/1/wsmanidentity.xsd
ProtocolVersion : http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd
ProductVendor   : Microsoft Corporation
ProductVersion  : OS: 0.0.0 SP: 0.0 Stack: 3.0


PS> Get-PSProvider | ft name

Alternatively you can explicitly load the Management module.
