A new PCMCIA network card is not functioning correctly.
To troubleshoot this, the socket information should be checked.
How can this be done?
A.
cat /proc/pcmcia
B.
cardctl info
C.
cat /var/lib/pcmcia/stab
D.
cardctl -s
E.
cardmgr -s
Explanation:
cardmgr records device information for each socket in /var/lib/pcmcia/stab
Here is a sample stab listing:
Socket 0: Adaptec APA-1460 SlimSCSI
0 scsi aha152x_cs 0 sda 8 0
0 scsi aha152x_cs 1 scd0 11 0
Socket 1: Serial or Modem Card
1 serial serial_cs 0 ttyS1 5 65
For the lines describing devices, the first field is the socket, the second is the device class, the third is the driver name, the fourth is used to number multiple devices associated with the same driver, the fifth is the device name, and the final two fields are the major and minor device numbers for this device (if applicable)
cardctl command can be used to check the status of a socket, or to see how it is configured. It can also be used to alter the configuration status of a card.
