Card reader not working on Dell Inspiron M301Z on xubuntu 14.04

[karpatt]

the card reader dont work on Xubuntu 14.04 on my Dell Inspiron M301z.

After researching on the net, i found a solution :

download driver realtek :

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=15&PFid=25&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

install patch on rtsx.c

http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-block/rts_pstor/files/rts_pstor-linux-3.10.patch?diff_format=s&view=log

after that :

make

sudo make install

sudo depmod

after install :

sudo apt-get install libnss-myhostname

reboot !! :-)

The solution is based on the following pages :

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.14 kernel[0].

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.

The problem is solved with the realtek driver and the patch... What difference does it make if I install the new kernel or I create log ??
