Hi. Jumping into the middle of this thread, so ...
Most likely it seems you are missing something in the kernel end of
things. Some "stupid, lttle" option that would make it work. I
suggest gathering all the info you can on getting USB and USB readers
together off the 'Net, then compare that with what your kernel has
available...

Hard drives and other devices don't share all the same options in the
kernel.

Do the drivers match the particular kernel you are using? Or are these
external, user access apps.?
