NAME

       cardctl - PCMCIA card control utility

SYNOPSIS

       cardctl [-V] command [socket]
       cardctl [-c config] [-f scheme] [-s stab] scheme [name]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

       Cardctl is also used to select between multiple PCMCIA configuration schemes.  The current scheme name  is  passed  to  the  device  option
       scripts as part of the ``device address'', so the scripts can use it to choose between different setups.

       If  cardctl  is	executed by root, all commands are available.  If it is executed by an unpriviledged user, only the informational commands
       are accessible.

       Some commands may not work or give misleading results if cardmgr is not running.

COMMANDS

       status
	   Display the current socket status flags.

       config
	   Display the socket configuration, including power settings, interrupt and I/O window settings, and configuration registers.

       ident
	   Display card identification information, including product identification strings, manufacturer ID codes, and function ID codes.

       suspend
	   Shut down and then disable power for a socket.

       resume
	   Restore power to a socket, and re-configure for use.

       reset
	   Send a reset signal to a socket, subject to approval by any drivers already bound to the socket.

       eject
	   Notify all client drivers that this card will be ejected, then cut power to the socket.

       insert
	   Notify all client drivers that this card has just been inserted.

       scheme
	   If no scheme name is given, cardctl will display the current PCMCIA configuration scheme.  If a scheme  name  is  given,  cardctl  will
	   unconfigure all PCMCIA devices, and reconfigure for the new scheme.

OPTIONS

       -V     Show version information and exit.

       -c config
	      Look for the card configuration database and card configuration scripts in the specified directory, instead of /etc/pcmcia.

       -f scheme
	      Use the specified file to keep track of the current configuration scheme, instead of /var/lib/pcmcia/scheme.

       -s stab
	      Read current socket information from the specified file, instead of /var/lib/pcmcia/stab.

NAME

       dummy_cs - PCMCIA dummy device driver

SYNOPSIS

       insmod dummy_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [free_ports=n] [irq_list=i,j,...]

DESCRIPTION

       The dummy_cs module has two purposes.  It is intended as a demonstration of how to write the PCMCIA interface code for a client driver, and
       the source code is heavily commented.  It is also written to function as a sort of generic ``point enabler'': when bound to any	PCMCIA	IO
       card,  it  will read the card's Configuration Information Structure, and configure the card appropriately.  The configuration includes set-
       ting up IO and memory windows, configuring the card for interrupts, and initializing the card's PCMCIA configuration registers.

       It turns out that many cards report incomplete or inaccurate configuration information, due to vendor carelessness and  the  complexity	of
       the  data format.  A vendor driver can generally take for granted many configuration details, so there is not much incentive for vendors to
       ensure that the on-card information is complete.  Thus, the dummy_cs module is limited by its generality: since	it  makes  no  assumptions
       about card types, it is forced to rely on the card information, for better or worse.

PARAMETERS

       pc_debug=n
	      Selects  the PCMCIA debugging level.  This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled.	A non-zero
	      value enables debugging.

       free_ports=n
	      A flag indicating if the IO ports allocated for the card should be freed from the kernel resource maps.  This is useful if the dummy
	      driver is being used to configure a card in preparation for loading a specific PCMCIA-unaware driver.  The default is 0 (false).

       irq_list=i,j,...
	      Specifies the set of interrupts that may be allocated by this driver.
