There is a workaround from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/605043/comments/7
Simply add a "options sdhci debug_quirks=0x40" line into a new file (e.g. card-reader.conf) in /etc/modprobe.d ** Tags added: fix workaround ** Description changed: The internal reader in my Acer Aspire 8943G laptop from O2 Micro - manufacturer doesn't work at all. It doesn't mount any memory card nor - recognize that a card has been inserted (system log doesn't show any new - message when I insert or remove a card). + manufacturer doesn't work at all with Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10. It doesn't + mount any memory card nor recognize that a card has been inserted + (system log doesn't show any new message when I insert or remove a + card). I have tried using A-DATA 16GB SDHC Class 6 and a very old 16MB long MemoryStick or whatever it was. - I have also tried some workarounds posted all over the Internet - including adding "options sdhci debug_quirks=0x40" into a configuration - file in /etc/modprobe.d but it didn't work. Somewhere in the Internet, - there had been also a linux driver for the O2 Micro SmartCard reader, - but I don't really think that it is suitable for my card reader and, - anyway, as the driver was quite old, the download link didn't work. - - I tried Ubuntu Oneiric Alpha 2 daily build today and again, the card - reader doesn't react on card insertion at all. + A workaround is adding "options sdhci debug_quirks=0x40" into a + configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d.
