I suspect that your internal reader does not show up as a USB
device. If not, there are problems supporting all the different
types of cards because you have to put the chip set into different
modes for different media, and there are problems getting all the
documentation.

If I disconnect the usb plug then lsusb does not report the existence of
the unit, so it DOES show up as a USB device...but a deaf and blind one!
I cannot seem to get any responses from it at all...
