My external Sandisk Extreme USB 2.0 reader is a little like that.  I 
just leave it disconnected.  Load a card and then plug the USB cable 
into the reader and it works fine.

Recent hal and (xfce) Thunar seem a little confused, so now when it 
automounts the card and pops up a Thunar window, it also pops up windows 
for /, /var, /tmp, and /usr.  Haven't had time to figure out what's 
going on there, yet.
