Hello,

I've just removed a USB card reader from my Mandrake 10 system and added a USB 2.0 card and connected up a new multi-card reader to it. But I can't get the system to recognise the new hardware. Where am I going wrong?

I've tried googling for multi-card reader but nothing useful comes up.

Right,

assuming kernel 2.6.x...

$ modprobe ehci-hcd $ modprobe usb-storage

I can't remember if that's the same for 2.4.x, I know it got changed at some point, but I can't remember the exact point.

And marvel as you get SCSI disks ;)

Basically, USB multicard readers present themselves as 1 (or more) usb mass storage devices, that are then treated as SCSI devices. My 6 in 1 presents itself as 4 devices, for example, one for each different shaped hole.

Hope that helps - -- Brett Parker web: http://www.sommitrealweird.co.uk/ email: iDunno@sommitrealweird.co.uk
