For the future: please don't use these release tags unless your bug
depends on some behavior in a _separate_ package that is present in
wheezy but not on squeeze or sid.  Normally, the usual found/fixed
tracking works better.

More interesting.  There have been some block layer changes upstream
recently, so please test v3.2-rc1 or later once it hits experimental
(or sooner, if you have the time to build from source).  Then we can
take this upstream.

Thanks.  Is there a firmware update available for this card reader?
