Below has been tested under Edgy 6.10

NOTE: I have tested the drivers with a Canon 16MB SD card and SanDisk 512MB SD card and have been able to read both cards with no problem, and both the cards auto mounted.

Open a Terminal. Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

Loading the drivers from terminal type:
Quote:

sudo modprobe tifm_sd

Now to insert a SD media card and it should auto mount.

If all went well you can now edit the the /etc/modules file so you can load the drivers for the card reader on boot up

Make a backup of your 'modules' in case something goes wrong:
Quote:

sudo cp /etc/modules /etc/modules.backup

Open the file with gedit:
Quote:

sudo gedit /etc/modules

Add the following entry to the end of the file:
Quote:

tifm_sd

Save and close the file. Now this module gets loaded on sys bootup and a card is detected when inserted. The card reader is found as /dev/mmcblk0 and mounted automatically on card insert.
