The USB ones can be a little picky. Some brands do not work, at least not easily, but others do. You will need to load the usb-storage module. Check this list: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdevcat.php?id=11 I see those URLs show PQI readers. This brand is generally supported right out of the box...I have a PQI travelflash 5 in one and it just works. The kernel USB options only show ones that are "weird"..most just use the usb-storage API which is pretty generic. -- Ben Buxton - Random Network Person -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
