Having a usb card reader with a small SD card in it, lying on the desk, I've just plugged it in for comparison with your tribulations. On ubuntu 10.04, I get: a) "mount" shows: /dev/sde1 on /media/6B36-55C9 type vfat \ (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush) b) dmesg includes the device as well: [ 1478.412932] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk [ 1478.424578] sd 4:0:0:2: [sde] 60800 512-byte logical blocks: (31.1 MB/29.6 MiB) [ 1478.427254] sd 4:0:0:2: [sde] Write Protect is off [ 1478.427266] sd 4:0:0:2: [sde] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 [ 1478.427273] sd 4:0:0:2: [sde] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 1478.427551] sd 4:0:0:1: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk [ 1478.439869] sd 4:0:0:2: ioctl_internal_command return code = 8070000 [ 1478.439879] : Sense Key : Hardware Error [current] [ 1478.439888] : Add.

Fortunately they're fairly cheap, but in case the real ratio of duds is much higher, the "AV Labs 70 in 1 usb 2.0 Card Reader & Writer" works for me. Hope you can find one that's not made by Murphy.
