USB Card Reader.



My camera usually links to the computer through the serial port. As I have my modem in there, it's a major pain to get the camera connected. So I decided to get a USB card reader to solve the problem.

I plugged it into one of my USB ports and it's recognised:

Relevant bit of syslog:

I have Sarge installed.

I can't figure out how to mount my camera card. I plug it in and the reader acknowledges it but nothing seems to work when I try and mount. So I googled and went to the site of the manufacturer Vivanco. Progress... they say it needs a driver. (Does it? Syslog says /dev/sd* are being created.) MAC OSX, MSWindows in various flavours... no Linux driver. No mention of Linux... :(

Am I missing something very obvious or is there something like ndiswrapper that would work with the driver? I thought that would until I read the man page... :(

If you need anything more info, just ask... not sure what you'd need.
