Hello, Here is a patch against 2.6.30-rc4, but probably material for 2.6.31, which should avoid a couple of people to have the same problem as me. Eric == I had to set CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN to y in order to get my SE W595 working when plugging it as a mass storage. Looking at SCSI option to get a phone behaving correctly was convoluted to say the least. There are quite a few other reports about USB card readers needing this option as well. This patch improves the help text to make the use of the option more obvious and also defaults it to Y. I couldn't find any explicit reports of devices not working because of multiple LUNs probing, but only reports of people would had heard of such reports. In addition, every mainstream distro have this option activated, so it should definitely not be too dangerous.
