I'm terribly sorry, but I misspoke. I should have said "former", not
"latter". ugen is a generic USB device, so that user programs that
know how to talk to a specific device can work. umass is the mass
storage device, and the one that works. If it worked, you'd mount
da. There are sometimes problems with dynamically loading modules. If
you don't have umass in the kernel, you might try adding it - and
scbus and da, which it requires - and try again.

The SanDisk readers reported to work are the SDDR-31 and SDDR-05a. The
SDDR-09-01 and SDDR-05 are known not to work.
