I was thinking the same thing. Also, once you get into SD cards, some
higher capacity or higher speeds ones will require "later,"
higher-capacity readers.
In one case I encountered where this was a problem the 4Gb SD card
showed up in the older card reader but it couldn't be accessed beyond
the 1Gb point. But other card readers could well not show the card at
all as it seems in this case.
The OP might try a smaller (< 1Gb card) as a test.

When I Google "0x058f" I immediately see "Generic USB 2.0 cardreader"
which makes me think this device likely requires a USB 2.0 port to
work? It would be worth the investment in a cheap USB 2.0 PCI card.
Also, unless your keyboard is a newer USB 2.0 keyboard the ports on
the keyboard will also be the slower USB 1.0 ports, so you'll need to
attach the cardreader directly to the USB 2.0 PCI card ports or a USB
2.0 hub attached to this card. You can used the onboard USB 1.0 ports
for your keyboard & mouse or other USB 1.0 devices.
Generally speaking, USB 2.0 devices work with USB 1.x hosts but at the
lower speed of course. The fact that the OPs device shows up in System
Profiler tends to indicate that USB 1 vs 2 is NOT the issue.
