Most (if not all) card readers (multi or otherwise) don't provide media
change information, so there's no way for the kernel to generate a
hotplug event for udev.
So, there's a hack - use the all_partitions property for the NAME.
Here's what I use to get access to my CF slot on my multi-card reader:
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="Zynet*",SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-CFC*",
NAME{all_partitions}="compact_flash"
This will create 16 partition device files for the CompactFlash LUN. Do
the same for the rest of the LUNs on your multi-reader, and you should
be set. The cards put into the reader would normally be accessible as
the first partition.
I then creat /etc/fstab entries for /dev/compact_flash1 etc. and I can
access them through the "Computer" folder in nautilus. It's not as cool
as having the card show up on the desktop when I plug it in, but hey, it
works.
