Unfortunately it doesn't work for me (and the manual/script compilation fix doesn't work either).

I have a Toshiba U205 S2067 laptop with:

03:0b.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Cardbus Controller
03:0b.1 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments PCIxx12 OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
03:0b.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD)
03:0b.3 Generic system peripheral [0805]: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller

After booting I have modules tifm_core tifm_7xx1 mmc_core and sdhci installed. Modules tifm_sd and
mmc_block are not installed automatically. I have tried the following variations (none works):

tifm_core, tifm_7xx1, mmc_core, sdhci
tifm_core, tifm_7xx1, mmc_core, sdhci + tifm_sd
tifm_core, tifm_7xx1, mmc_core, sdhci + mmc_block
tifm_core, tifm_7xx1, mmc_core, sdhci + tifm_sd + mmc_block
tifm_core, tifm_7xx1, mmc_core + tifm_sd
tifm_core, tifm_7xx1, mmc_core +tifm_sd + mmc_block

(I achived this by eding the files /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.h/blacklist)

Obs: Twice, after forgeting the SD card in the reader and booting the machine, my system
recognized the SD and I could browse it with nautilus. Once I unmount it, I can not mount
it anymore (and insertion doen't auto-mount int). So maybe the modules are working, but
my system is not reacting to the insertion of the card, even if I load some modules manually.
