Hi,

> For the moment I will try to follow the event path in the kernel sources.

Have tried to dig into the kernel sources, but this went nowhere.
The only thing I'm sure is that the EHCI driver which handles my card
reader does *not* get/send any interrupt when I insert a card into the
reader, which is bad news :/

I just give up for the moment, I have a lot of other interesting things to
do ;)

Anyway, if someone have a functioning card reader, please let me know
which kernel you're using, and send me your .config.

Sorry, no :/
But thanks for the sg_map trick, this was (and still is unfortunatly) very
useful.

Same symptoms here. What kind/brand of card reader do you have ?
