Buyer beware. I have been caught by this too. I still have to completely satisfy myself that this is the case but I have a similar card - can't remember the manufacturer but I got it from PC World (yeah stupid I know) - with two 6 pin Firewire connectors thinking that it would draw power from the laptop and I would have a field-working card reader.... It doesn't!
