Regression: Sandberg card reader not working anymore

Different hardware, but you might find something useful looking at the Texas Instruments bug for card readers? Bug #180093. And for what it's worth you're the only bug I can find here who even mentions Smart Media cards - they don't work for me Bug #180093

I just noticed you've said this is a regression - which kernel(s) did it work with and which kernel are you running?

Gutsy stock kernel: 2.6.22
Debian etch: 2.6.18
Edgy: 2.6.17

Again, as I said in my original bug report, this is likely not caused by the kernel since mounting the card by hand works fine.

I am wondering why none of the bugs that affect hal have an upstream bug reported?

This will never get fixed if just stays unnoticed here.
