Hmmm, what I don't understand, again, is that in Hoary the very same
card reader works PER-FEC-TLY, and out of the box at that. No useless
icons or anything, really sweet as chocolate.
So in all logic, it should work at least as well in Breezy, otherwise
that would be going backwards wouldn't it... :-/

Yep, only one partition, it's just a simple memory card from a digital
camera. I added a line in fstab, created mount point, then used 'mount'.
Mount didn't seem to complain of anything, but sadly, if I write
something to it, the files don't appear when I do a 'ls'.

Yep, at least at the command line, it all looks as if it's mounted, but
no luck when trying to copy stuff on it. No errors whatsoever, but no
files either ! :-/
