I have an Asus PRO31J F3JC laptop with a Ricoh SD card reader that Fedora is slightly aware that it's in the computer, but doesn't actually do anything with it. I gave Ubuntu (7.10) a try last night, and it can read from the card. I know little about Ubuntu, other than it being Debian in disguise (and I've never used Debian), to know whether we can purloin anything from it to use with Fedora. Does anybody know if we can?

And, yes, I can read my SD cards using an external USB adaptor, but it's not convenient having things hanging out of the laptop. No, I can't add a PCMCIA card reader, the laptop has an ExpressCard slot, instead, and I've not seen anybody selling those, nor do I know if they'll be supported. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
