WMI Corruption

[Nick]

All right, folks, I've got a problem. For my Linksys
WMP11 V2.7 Wireless PCI Card, I have a difficulty using
WPA. I've downloaded the patches for Win XP Pro and no
luck... I think it may have something to do with the fact
that I can't go to the Advanced tab under my card's
config. screens... saying that my WMI is corrupted. I've
tried both the in-place repair and the System Restore, but
neither works. In fact, it's immediately after I install
the vendor driver that the WMI becomes corrupted... any
ideas?

1. open a command prompt
2. "cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem"
3. "mofcomp hnetcfg.mof"
4. If it succeeds, then try the advanced tab again. If it fails, keep
reading
5. Read the follow the instructions here:
