I have similar results with the "USB 2.0 Flash Card Reader" by StarTech.com. It works if the cards are in the device before the device is attached to the laptop. Inserting and/or removing cards while attached to the laptop does not generate any /var/log/messages entries. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference - http://www.bsdcan.org/
