Description linux 2011-07-08 18:42:46 UTC 
Hello,

I am using an Thinkpad Edge 11 with AMD and Realtek Semiconductor Corp. USB 2.0 multicard reader.

It does not recognize SD/SDHC/MMC Cards. I tried it with different filesystems, ext2,3,4,FAT32.

syslog when inserting:

It detects the card as UDF-Filesystem... very strange.

Tried with different Kernel Version, same problem...
