Enable SCSI support for SD card reader?

[Dave M G]

Ubuntu Users,

I've upgraded to Feisty recently, and my USB SD card reader no longer 
reads SD cards.

After some research on the web, it seems that even though my SD card 
reader is a USB device, Linux considers SD cards to be SCSI devices somehow.

However, all the advice that said that enabling SCSI support will make 
an SD card reader work again were in the context of building custom kernels.

I don't really want to rebuild the entire kernel if I can avoid it.

Is there a way I can enable SCSI support without rebuilding the kernel?
