Flash Card Reader
----------------
Card reader in front of laptop is a "Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia
Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD)". This doesn't work of of the box on
openSUSE 10.2 as they don't include the modules in the default kernel;
this supposedly will change with openSUSE 10.3. But sussing out the
required incantation and getting it up and running took only a few
minutes.
Go to http://developer.berlios.de/projects/tifmxx
Get tifm-0.6b.tar.bz2
tar xjvf tifm-0.6b.tar.bz2
make
make install
To start it immediately -
modprobe tifm_core
modprobe tifm_7xx1
modprobe mmc_core
modprobe mmc_block
modprobe fm_sd
