[SOLVED] multi card reader

[E001754]

Hi there,

I've bought 2 different card readers : one is the AK-ICR-05 from AKASA manufacturer. This is a internal card reader.
The second one is a Sony MRW62E-S2, which is an external card reader.

Both ones are working great when it comes to read a compact flash.
But, when I try to insert an SDHC card, nothing happens.

So, I found that I need the SDHCI kernel module, in order to be able to read SD cards.
I've also understood that I would also need a special kernel module that will support the internal chipset of the multicard readers.

My question will be : how can I read somewhere the chipset found inside the card readers ?? lsusb, lshal, lspci or dmesg haven't given me any interesting information.
The only thing I know is the Akasa reader is using some Realtek chipset.
What part of kernel should I activate to be able to use one of those two readers ??

Thanks for any help

E001754,

These things are SCSI devices with multiple Logical Unit Numbers.
The CF Card is usually what you get when you don't scan all LUNs.

You need CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y in your kernel.

Also, to find the exact devices you have, send the results of lspci -n to this web site. Set up the drivers it tells you, and only those drivers. I compile those drivers (SD) into the kernel. That seems to work best for those with the devices.

Blessed be!

lsusb would be needed for those.

Also, just enable all the mmc drivers as modules, and let udev do it's thing.
