I have a laptop with a card reader built in which I have never been able to get to work. Everything I have looked up regarding these has to do with usb versions, and other than the laptops my card readers are usb so this shouldn't be a problem. In the laptops I have a texas instruments PCI card reader though, which gives me a real headache. I can't seem to get them to operate at all, so I'm left wondering about drivers and such. These are the specs: Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated FlashMedia Controller 02:09.4 SD Host controller: Texas Instruments PCI6411/6421/6611/6621/7411/7421/7611/7621 Secure Digital Controller I'm currently running Fedora (which seems to work), but I'd like to move over to FreeBSD as soon as I can get all the features needed on these. I seem to be making headway on most of these, so here's hoping. The card reader is capable of reading nearly all format cards, including xD which is a main reason why I'd like to get it to work. Any links and info would be very appreciated.
