On behalf of a user on #ubuntu IRC: 1. The user is running Ubuntu 8.10 with the latest 2.6.27-generic packages. 2. The user has the tifm_* kernel modules loaded. 3. They are getting the same information in dmesg about the card detection when one is inserted (MMC, SD, xD tested). 4. No automounting; no /dev/mmcblk* device descriptors are created. 5. The user has the same top-level hardware as the original reporter, confirmed by PCI ID [104c:803b]. However, it appears that the "subsystem" of this user's device is different; the subsystem's PCI ID is [17ff:0590].
The IRC user did not indicate whether they have tested this device with another release of Ubuntu, but I was unable to help them resolve this problem. Can we please investigate whether the kernel actually tries to support these devices, and if so, what is the nature of the bug that is holding everything back? Unfortunately, I do not own one of these card readers, so I can't investigate in detail myself. They are shipped internally in select laptop models, so acquiring one for testing is not cheap.
