Ok, I give up, what do I do next?

I have a card reader with a GE brand name on it

[root at box10 ~]# lsusb

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp. Flash Card Reader/Writer

And I see the following for sdd  through sdg -

[root at box10 ~]# ll /dev/sdd
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 48 May  1 10:10 /dev/sdd

Which I imagine relate to receptacles on the device. First I have no 
idea which /dev/sdx is the one the micro-SD in adapter is plugged into 
or how to identify it? Also I am not confident that the SD device is 
even being recognized?

Any help appreciated,

Bob
