Another option is to use the attached script, which automates the
process of detecting the reader, so you don't have to press a hotkey.

* copy the attached file scan_sd_reader.sh to /etc/init.d/ and make it
executable:

sudo cp scan_sd_reader.sh /etc/init.d && sudo chmod +x
/etc/init.d/scan_sd_reader.sh

* make it run at startup:

sudo update-rc.d scan_sd_reader.sh defaults

Then when you reboot the script will run in the background, checking
every 2 seconds if the reader is on the PCI bus, ie which happens when
you insert a card. It quits once the reader is detected.

You can start it immediately (without rebooting) with:

sudo /etc/init.d/scan_sd_reader.sh
