I don't know your specific unit, but all the ones I have run into 
use the usb_storage module. It will appear as 1 or more SCSI drives 
to the system. Most cards will auto-mount off of on a mount point 
off of /media.

You may want to take a look /var/log/message when you plug the 
reader in if you are using it externally.
