A new PCMCIA network card is not functioning correctly. To troubleshoot this, the socket
information should be checked. How can this be done?

A.
cardctl info

B.
cardctl -s

C.
cardmgr-s

D.
cat/var/lib/pcmcia/stab

E.
cat/proc/pcmcia

Explanation:
Cardmgr monitors PCMCIA sockets for card insertion and removal events. When a card is
inserted, cardmgr looks up the card in a database of known cards. If the card can be identified,
appropriate device drivers will be loaded and bound to the card. When a card is ejected, that cards
drivers will be shut down and unloaded if possible. Based on the contents of the PCMCIA card
configuration database, cardmgr may also execute arbitrary commands when appropriate cards
are either inserted or removed.
All insertion and removal events, device driver loads and unloads, and startup and shutdown
commands are reported in the system log file. Warnings and errors will also be logged. Current

card and device information for each socket is recorded in /var/lib/pcmcia/stab.
Cardctl is used to monitor and control the state of PCMCIA sockets. If a socket number is
specified, the command will be applied to just one socket; otherwise, all sockets will be affected.
