OK, after formatting the SD on a windows machine, it was correctly detected again. However, this also coincided with the kernel upgrade to 3.16.0-30-generic. I *think* I tried it with the new kernel and it didn't work but it's possible I'm misremembering.
In any case, my issue is resolved for now. Thank you so much for your help! I wonder if this still represents a bug somewhere if a broken SD card can not be detected. -- 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/1414619 Title: 1217:8221 [Dell Latitude E6430] O2 Micro Cardreader does not work on Ubuntu 14.10 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Up until recently, SD cards used to be detected but were pretty slow. Since a couple of days (I'm not sure if a Kernel update happened that caused this), putting in a SD card has no effect and leads to no error messages being displayed in dmesg.
