Rationale
Until now it's only possible to read SD cards on multi-card-readers, like ricoh, that are integrated on most laptops on this days. And difficult the wireless options that this cards readers provide.
SD - Works
Memorystick / Pro - Don't Work
xD - Don't Work
MMC - Don't Work
I have Ricoh card reader in my HP laptop - the bug comes from the kernel module for it. I've installed 2.6.24 kernel - MMC/SD work! Tryed 2.6.25rc2 and 2.6.25rc3 - MS/MSpro are working too then!
PS. xD not working yet
I have a HP Pavilion zd8060us and the last time I checked the card reader did not work. There was a hack to get the SD reader portion to work but that was it. The card reader uses a Texas Instruments chipset.
I'm talking about the internal card reader, via pci, not the external usb card readers.... the external ones just work fine, it's the internal's one that doesn't work. I looked around about this, and i haven't found anything concret at all, i read about some rc kernels, but isn't the idea to work out of the box???
anyway, i can't get it to work yet. :/
