I've used several kinds and they all mounted as usb storage. (internal on a desktop) External connected via usb so of course was usb storage. Heck even miniSD works fine out of the box on FC6. I've had it working since RH9 I believe. What do you see in dmesg? I know you said nothing when you inserted the card but even empty mine show something. try dmesg | grep usb Shawn
