First, you hear short high note. This means Wildboar recognized insertion of a card. Then, you'll hear following notes.
If you hear a low note followed by high note, Wildboar successfully configured your cards. Congratulations. You can use the card from now on.
If you heard single low note -- this means you inserted the card which Wildboar can't work with. This may or may not your configuration problem. Read <WBProblems> if your card should work with Wildboar.
If you remove a card, you'll hear high note followed by low note.
See Wildboar Beeps for complete description.
If you'd like to configure all cards, run csconfig as root:
If you'd like to deactivate all cards, say:
If you want to know the card configuration status, say:
If you have multiple PCMCIA slots and want to turn on/off one of them,
say slot number instead of -a. Slot number is 0,1,2,3... For
example, following command will turn on the card in slot number 0:
If you choose to configure the card on boot on installation
(installfloppy) then,
csconfig -a up
command is included in
/etc/rc.local. This is because Wildboar does not try to detect the
cards on initialization.
This is design choice -- If you turn on the cards always, you may lose your battery even you don't use the cards. Note that, if the cards is configured, it also means cards are eating powers. You should understand modem cards or ethernet cards eats lots of power -- this means waste of power. If you don't connect the Ethernet cards to network, We suggest to run 'csconfig X down' or remove the cards unless your laptop is AC powered.
