Yes, there are such devices that do no report media changes. However, this
depends on the device and might be an insufficient support by the usb-storage
module or a broken card reader device. My one does report the change when I
pull out the MMC and put it back in. And yes, I use udev (with hal and
KDE-3.4) and I just tested it.
What model and vendor is this card reader? What chipset does it use? Maybe it
reports media changes in a way that the usb-storage module does not
understand, yet...
