Comment 173 for bug 53923

I tried a fresh gutsy cd, everything works on my tablet pc (even the pen of course), but MMC cardreader. I repeat, this cardreader, with this card I am using now, worked without any manual intervention in edgy. Here in feisty and gutsy, the tifm_* modules won't do anything useful. Removing those modules, then inserting SDHCI, won't do anything either (where not doing anything means no messages in system logs in both cases). If I remove every related module, then do the setpci hack, then install only sdhci, I get this in the logs

but nothing will happen when inserting the card (again, no messages in the log).

Please someone tell me how to provide more information, I am afraid that my case can be different from others and I would like to file a proper report *before* gutsy, since I reported a dupe of this *before feisty* (when I was wasting my time testing the beta), then had it fixed, then it broke again *after feisty* i.e. in the stable version. I believe in contributing to the community and reporting problems, but I am getting a little fed up with this particular bug.
