Glad it worked. FYI I just updated the page: It may not be necessary to unload and reload the usb_storage driver. Just forcing a reread of the partition table (using "hdparm -z /dev/sdb") may be enough to make an SD/MMC card readable.

Goldspy:
That was a mistake in my writeup, which I just corrected on the web page.
What I actually did was
"modprobe usb_storage"
after inserting the memory card.
It can be done with insmod, but the loadable module has to be specified explicitly. On my system it's:
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.38-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko

hi, you seem to be knowledgeable so i thought maybe you might have an idea whats going on here. got a hp dm1z that also has e350 and the 6510 with the same realtek card reader:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:0138 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

tried your instruct's to no avail, im now building the 2.6.38 kernel, but ive been trying to get it working on the 2.6.35.28 and .29

# sudo insmod usb_storage
insmod: can't read 'usb_storage': No such file or directory

modprobe completes with no errors, so it has me a bit stumped, dmesg after rmmod shows its been unloaded, did you ever have luck getting it going under .38?
