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

Question

Options

• Acardctl info
• Bcardctl -s
• Ccardmgr -s
• Dcat /var/lib/pcmcia/stab
• Ecat /proc/pcmcia

• A

• B

• C

• E

Explanation

cardctl info (A) displays socket status and configuration details for PCMCIA cards, making it the primary command-line tool for checking socket information. cat /var/lib/pcmcia/stab (D) reads the PCMCIA status table file, which lists all detected cards and their assigned resources - another reliable way to inspect socket state.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (cardctl -s) - the -s flag is not a valid option for cardctl; this command would fail.
• C (cardmgr -s) - cardmgr is the PCMCIA card manager daemon, not a query tool; -s is not a valid flag for checking socket info interactively.
• E (cat /proc/pcmcia) - this path does not exist; PCMCIA info is not exposed via /proc in this form (some distros use /proc/bus/pccard instead, but that's not listed here).

Memory tip: Think "Active command + Data file" - cardctl info is the active way to query sockets, and /var/lib/pcmcia/stab is the data file that stores the status table ("stab" = status table).
