Arch on Mac Mini | Cardreader not working

Hi everybody!

So proud to be a member of this community. I've started using Arch for about 3 years now and am enjoying it. Recently I installed Arch on my Mac Mini computer. It has an i5 and 16GB RAM plus 512GB SSD. Works really well except for one thing:

The card reader on the back of the computer does not work. It works, but when I insert an SD card it gives me errors.

This is my LSPCI:

I thought you'd be interested in this information o I put it here. Right now I'm in the office so I can't do any hardware tests with an SD card. If you need other information I can login by SSH and get it for you.

I would love to have your help on getting the Card Reader to work. Thank you in advance!

Re: Arch on Mac Mini | Cardreader not working
