I have installed (connnected online) ubuntu 14.04.1 on my sony vaio vgntz31xn:
the laptop don't read sd card with internal reader ricoh: It's not a problem hardware, because the reader go perfectly with windows.
This is the print of lspci:
09:04.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev ba)
09:04.1 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 04)
09:04.4 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 11)
I've tried all the patches found in web&forum, but they are all older than 2 years and no one goes on my laptop: someone are these:

Many of these cases have solved the problem updating the old version, but the newest doesn't work: it's strange.
I would some help, if it's possible: I'm not very expert of Ubuntu, but I'm sure to leave windows and I would learn how.
Thanks

I'm moving this bug to the kernel, as it looks like a driver problem which is more kernel-related. The system is not certified so this is not related to the certification program.
Thanks!
