Well, the reader worked perfectly on other machines, and the notebook has trouble with several devices like USB pendrivers, so if there's a damage, it must be the computer. But I have two notebooks with intel chipsets and both have similar problems, so I would be astonished if both of them were broken. And if I remember correctly, I could fix the problem by stepping back to an older kernel when the problem occured for the first time, but that's long time ago. :-( regards Hadmut -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
