Out of topic: could it be power problem?
It will be good to know what hardware it
is. And relevant part of dmesg, at least.
If it lives on usb power, on battery...
If so, put cable in, connect directly as
you can and see what's goin' on.
Does it matter if you first put card into
the reader and then reader into usb port?
