Description Dete 2013-10-28 19:28:39 UTC

Some month ago I bought a new Notebook Acer Aspire V3-571G with Windows 8 , I installed ubuntu 12.04. and updated to 12.04.3. And I bought a new SD-card for my
camera (Sandisk ExtremePro 32GB). It doesn't work with ubuntu. With Windows 8 it works fine. My old SD-card ADATA 16 GB class 10 works fine with ubuntu too. After using 3.12.0 I can see the card in gparted, but there is "no partition table", but there are a partition table and data on the card.

Here is a link with description and reports:

Now (today) I updated and tried 3.12.0-031200rc7-generic. It's the same like before.

I updated the summary because I think the problem is with the Broadcom card reader device, not the SD card itself.

Here's the SD/MMC maintainer info:

  SECURE DIGITAL HOST CONTROLLER INTERFACE (SDHCI) DRIVER
  M:      Chris Ball <chris@printf.net>
  L:      linux-mmc@vger.kernel.org

I don't know whether they pay attention to bugzilla, so you might want to poke again on the mailing list.  I also see bcm-kernel-feedback-list@broadcom.com, which is not listed for this device, but does look like a fairly generic Broadcom address.

This card reader is notorious for being broken.  Search for "BCM57765 linux" and you'll see what I mean.  Just in the kernel bugzilla, I see the following bug reports for it, and none of them seems to be going anywhere.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50221 NetXtreme BCM57765 unusable
