CARDBUS(4)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is cardbus — the CardBus bus driver 🚌✨ like, it literally is the CardBus bus, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

device cardbus

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one line and she's iconic 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the cardbus driver implements the CardBus bus. periodt. 💅

and like, she's not picky at all — the cardbus driver supports all cardbus bridges in the system. every single one. she said "i got you" and meant it 🫶🔥

🌸 TUNABLES 🌸

okay so this driver has some lil knobs you can turn, and honestly? obsessed. 🎀 these tunable parameters can be added to /boot/loader.conf or set via the sysctl(8) command:

• hw.cardbus.debug — any non-zero value makes her get way more chatty, printing more verbose information when a 32-bit CardBus card is inserted or removed 👀✨ like she's live-tweeting your hardware.
• hw.cardbus.cis_debug — a non-zero value makes the CIS parsing of the 32-bit CardBus card much more verbose, and it also includes a complete CIS dump 🗣️💬 full tea, full transcript, nothing held back.

ngl these are the "turn the volume all the way up" switches. zero = quiet. anything else = she's yapping 💀
