(Get the code!)
it's me again :) For me the problem finally wasn't related to the card-reader, but to the file system on the card (a 128 MB card from SanDisk, formated with a NIKON digikam). There was a FAT16 filesystem on the card, and like I said the card didn't get accepted in linux but in vista. I reformated the card in vista using the built-in formatter (management console), again with FAT16, and now the card works flawlessly with Kubuntu Karmic.
I now also bought a new 16GB SanDisk SDHC-card, and this one worked at once with its original formatting. For me this bug can be closed, although there seems to be a problem with some FAT partitions which work in vista and not with linux...
For the others who posted in this thread, please try your card-reader again after having reformated your SD-card, maybe this bug isn't one finally...
cheers,
Pascal
