Yes, there are such devices that do no report media changes. However, this depends on the device and might be an insufficient support by the usb-storage module or a broken card reader device. My one does report the change when I pull out the MMC and put it back in. And yes, I use udev (with hal and KDE-3.4) and I just tested it. What model and vendor is this card reader? What chipset does it use? Maybe it reports media changes in a way that the usb-storage module does not understand, yet...
