# pcic\_probe(8)

PCMCIA interface controller probe

## NAME

pcic\_probe - PCMCIA interface controller probe

## SYNOPSIS

**pcic\_probe** \[**-v**\] \[**-m**\] \[**-k**\] \[**-t** *tcic\_base*\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **pcic\_probe** command scans a system for various types of PCMCIA bridge devices.  It probes for PCI-based PC Card and CardBus bridges, as well as several types of ISA-bus bridges, where appropriate.

## OPTIONS

- **-v**

  Generates more verbose output during ISA bus probes.

- **-m**

  Outputs the kernel module name for the socket driver for the first identified controller.

- **-k**

  Used with **-m**, specifies that module names should be generated for use with the kernel PCMCIA subsystem, rather than for the standalone pcmcia-cs modules.

- **-t** *tcic\_base*

  Specifies the base IO port of a Databook TCIC ISA-PCMCIA bridge.  The default is 0x240.
