  If I stick the SD memory-card from my camera into my USB all-in-one
memory card-reader *BEFORE PLUGGING THE CARD-READER INTO THE USB PORT*,
it's recognized as /dev/sdb and mount works as expected.

  If I stick the SD memory-card from my camera into my USB all-in-one
memory card-reader *AFTER  PLUGGING THE CARD-READER INTO THE USB PORT*,
no such luck.  If I "fdisk /dev/sdb" (which requires root) then it wakes
up something somewhere, the card is recognized as /dev/sdb and mount
works as expected.

  Is it possible to get the system to automatically recognize when a
card is inserted into the reader?

Look at:

sys-apps/ivman
  Homepage:            http://ivman.sf.net
  Description:         Daemon to mount/unmount devices, based on info from HAL

You may also need to select "probe all LUNs in your kernel".
