USING THE BELKIN WIRELESS LAN UTILITY

Diagnostics Page

This Page allows you to perform several diagnostic tests that are available for
your Belkin Wireless Network adapter.

Control Registers

This test verifies the read and write capabilities of the network controller
registers by writing various values to the registers and verifying the result. The
device driver uses these registers to perform network functions such as sending
and receive information. If the test fails, the network adapter may not work
properly.

SPROM Format Version

This test verifies the content of the SPROM by reading a portion of the SPROM
and computing the checksum. The test fails if the computed checksum is
different than the checksum stored in the SPROM.
