Comment 23 for bug 88992

Confirmed for me too. I'm running Gutsy 64 on an HP Pavillion dv6000-series laptop. I had the card reader working just fine under Edgy, but since upgrading it has ceased to work. I did not to a fresh install; I downloaded the alternate install CD and updated from it. A fresh install was (and still is) out of the question. Not having this card reader working is a royal pain in the arse for me, and I would definitely appreciate having it fixed ASAP.

Some additional information about my situation:

$uname -r

inserting an SD card into the slot and then running dmesg:

What's got me confused is this:
$ls /dev/mmc*
ls: /dev/mmc*: No such file or directory

Maybe my card reader is /dev/something else, but I honestly don't know what. I'll admit my knowledge of hardware/OS interaction is limited at best, but if you need more information please let me know (and possibly include what command I should run to provide you with that information) and I'll pass it along.
