SD All-in-One Card reader

My netbook can't read the Sd card.  I installed Archlinux, and it used to be able to read cards on Windows,  but it can't anymore. I have an acer aspire one...so any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Re: SD All-in-One Card reader

So far they don't work under linux.
The multicard reader will be listed as
"ID 0cf2:6250 ENE Technology"
with lsusb only if a card is already inserted.

Are you sure none of the sd cards work ?

@OP: is Arch not seeing the card at all or simply not mounting it? Can you post the output of

sudo fdisk -l

I am assuming that you are using xorg18. If Arch is seeing the card but not mounting it, have you created the udev rules for sd cards?

Inxsible - fyi the installed xorg version is completely irrelevant here.

Well if he were using xorg 17, I would have pointed him to the Hal article on wiki and not the udev mount rules. IIRC, the installation snapshot  still has xorg17 in it.

You can still use hal to mount devices even using xorg 1.8.  Although to hal is to be deprecated, so udev is the way to go.

Re: SD All-in-One Card reader

This card reader uses a proprietary protocol, and there is no kernel driver for it, yet.
