(NB I'm not a subscriber to linux-kernel, I picked up this thread from one of the NNTP gateways; please cc me on any replies. Thanks)
I've recently purchased one of these to use with the SmartMedia cards from my Fuji FinePix 4700 (yes, I know the camera is already supported as a USB mass storage device). Searching for information on using it with Linux pointed me to this thread.
I've been unable to get the card reader to work - i.e. get the card mounted - using the 2.4.2-2 kernel which came with RedHat 7.1, although the device itself appears to be recognised (according to /proc/bus/usb/devices). I've also tried 2.4.4, but had even less success.
The discussion here between Matt Dharm and Andries Brouwer seems to revolve around the fact that the patch Andries has proposed is "risky". Clearly I don't have Matt's level of knowledge in this area, so I'm following his advice for the moment.
I'd quite like to get the device working and stable, and so would Andries and at least one other person who has posted to the list of supported USB devices hosted at http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/ ... so the question is simple: what can we do to help? I've not currently got any experience contributing to the kernel, and I have next-to-no knowledge of USB, but I'm prepared to put some effort in here.
