Sony memory stick pro duo is not recognized

[Adam Niedling]

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 on a Acer 5755G laptop. When I insert my Sony memory stick pro duo (with a memory stick duo adaptor) memory card nothing happens. It does work in Windows 7 on the same laptop. SD cards work in Ubuntu too with this card reader. (SD Host controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM57765 Memory Card Reader (rev 10))

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.7 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. Please only remove that one tag and leave the other tags. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Still a problem with: 3.7.0-030700rc4-generic #201211041435 SMP Sun Nov 4 19:35:50 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report[0]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug.

Please follow the instructions on the wiki page[0]. The first step is to email the appropriate mailing list. If no response is received, then a bug may be opened on bugzilla.kernel.org.
