7. LinMon
7.1 Installation
LinkMon is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) program that provides detailed operational status and
statistics for the 802.11a Wireless LAN Network Adapter. The LinkMon executable file,
linkmon.exe, is included on the 802.11a Release Version 1.2 CD, and is in the folder:
\ndis\bin\production\. Copy this file from the CD to a local driver 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.
