Not sure if it helps but if you run lsusb -vv | less from a terminal you should be able to find more out about the device such as the vendor ID and device ID. In the case of my SD Card slot on my laptop I get the following: idVendor 0x0bda Realtek Semiconductor Corp. idProduct 0x0158 Mass Stroage Device If you do a search for the numbers it gives without the 0x (i.e in this case 0bda and 0158 in Google you may get details of what chipset it has and how to get it working. I'd assume that if it isn't detected and working when you plug it in then you'll probably need to use Ndiswrapper with the Windows driver to get it working.
