Cardreader

Hello, I have MSI gt 680r and I can't get my cardreader working.
I'm trying to insert SD-card, before inserting `dmesg | tail`:

3337.924675] usb 4-1.7: new full speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd
[ 3338.453452] EXT4-fs (dm-0): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0

After inserting no changes in dmesg.

`lspci`:

What could be wrong here?

Re: Cardreader

lspci doesn't list any card reader. Maybe lsusb will show it. However I kinda have the feeling it's a proprietary device for which there is no driver.
