[ubuntu-uk] ENE Technology Inc SD/MMC Card Reader Controller

[Jai Harrison]

Hey Neil,

I tried that process and not only did the WiFi still not work but the
SD reader didn't work with the revised custom kernel either (I used
menuconfig to configure it). I guess I should give up on my SD reader
and buy another one (this one being external) off of Amazon or
something. It looks like there's little hope of getting this one to
work without the fix being applied to the generic kernel by
Ubuntu/kernel staff (whoever is responsible for it).
