LinkMon
Installation
LinkMon is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) program that provides detailed
operational status and statistics for the Alphanetworks WMP-A13V Wireless
Network mini PCI Card. The LinkMon executable file, linkmon.exe, is included
on the Alphanetworks CD, and is in the folder \ndis\bin\production\. Copy this
file from the CD to a local drive for execution.
Since Windows 98 SE does not have native support for WMI, which is
required to make LinkMon work correctly, an upgrade from Microsoft is
needed. Use the procedures described in the following section to acquire and
install the necessary WMI module from Microsoft. This is only required for
Windows 98 SE installations.
1. Download WMI installer from Microsoft (wmi9x.exe) and save it to your
hard disk.
2. Execute WMI installer by double-clicking wmi9x.exe.
