Well, these might be separate issues, as many USB connected SD/MMC readers
work by default (only with unencrypted media, I guess), whereas the device
you list reminds me a lot of the internal reader I have in my Dell X1
laptop, which simply doesn't work with Linux, from the lack of a device
driver... it's a quite different device (PCI connected, not USB).
