I found this discussed over at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727990 (comments #12 and #13):
#12: "The rts_pstor driver has been removed from staging in kernel 3.8 and another driver (rtsx_pci) is able to handle this hardware. I've tested it with the recent kernel-3.8.1-201.fc18.x86_64 and it works." #13: "Excellent find. I believe the driver is actually called rtsx_pci_ms (the rtsx_pci driver is something it depends on.) This is available in all current kernels." These "rtsx" modules exist in Ubuntu. However, the Barossa card never associates with them, so the problem remains. P.S.: I have a HP dv4-2164us netbook with this card, and this issue is one reason why I haven't upgraded from 12.04. ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #727990 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727990 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202047 Title: Realtek Barossa PCI Express SD card reader no longer working, rts_pstor module missing Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The card reader is recognized (eg. via lspci), but the system doesn't detect nor mount any SD card. It was working fine with the previous Quantal kernel, using the rts_pstor module. I remember reading about this module having been removed from upstream kernel source since version 3.8.0. I have tried loading the following modules manually with modprobe, but none of them seem to work: rtsx_pci_sdmmc, rts5139, rtsx_pci Another thing I've tried is to compile the rts_pstor module from a source tarball downloaded from Realtek's website. However, the module fails to compile, I believe it's because the source hasn't been updated since 2012 and so assumes an older kernel version. I have included the original tarball from Realtek as an attachment.
