Memory Stick worked fine on my Vaio VGN-N230N running 7.10.
But after the upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04, the memory stick isn't working anymore.

Snippets from /var/log/syslog

- After the upgrade:

Oct 9 01:45:38 bc03 kernel: [14146.945840] tifm0 : demand removing card from socket 0:0

As you can see, nothing happens when I insert it in its slot.

Is there something I can do about this problem? I've always used this card to transfer photos from my camera to the computer. I'm very disapointed with the quality of this version of Ubuntu. Besides this bug, there are several other problems, some major ones.
