| Change the support back to 'M'. On my MSI G63 the card reader only works when the module is loaded after inserting a card. In your case, I'm guessing you rebooted at least once with a card inserted and the reader worked. I haven't found a way to twiddle the loaded driver to make it recognize a card event so unloading the module and reloading it is the way. |
