  • -a : List all PCMCIA cards.

  • -i : Identify a PCMCIA card.

  • info : Display information about a PCMCIA card.

  • insert : Insert a PCMCIA card.

  • remove : Remove a PCMCIA card.

  • status : Display the status of a PCMCIA card.

For example, to list all PCMCIA cards, you would run the following command:

cardctl -a

This command will list all PCMCIA cards that are currently inserted into the system.

To identify a PCMCIA card, you would run the following command:

cardctl -i 0

This command will identify the PCMCIA card that is in slot 0.

To modify the configuration of a PCMCIA card, you would run the following command:

This command will modify the configuration of the PCMCIA card that is in slot 0.

To remove a PCMCIA card, you would run the following command:
