Bug Description
When inserting a MemStick card in my laptops card reader (Laptop being HP NC6320), nothing really happens, output from dmesg is only:
tifm_core: MemoryStick card detected in socket 0:0
I can not mount it manually either, but i found a fix on a blog:
http://
After applying this fix, my card now automounts and shows up on the desktop.
The work around for this issue extracted from the blog:
svn co -r155 http://
cd driver/
wget http://
patch -p0 < tifm_ms.patch
make
sudo make install
Output from dmesg after patch:
[ 3267.243300] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:0: executing TPC b008, 6c17
[ 3267.243311] tifm_ms tifm_ms0:0: data event: fifo_status 8, host_status 4020, flags 0

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
To get your fix included in Ubuntu, it would help if you tried transforming it into a debdiff (http:// wiki.ubuntu. com/PackagingGu ide/Recipes/ Debdiff) and submit it for review (http:// wiki.ubuntu. com/Sponsorship Process). If you prefer somebody else to do that, that's fine - please just indicate if you're available to do that.
BTW, this is fixed in kernel 2.6.25 but not backported to Ubuntu yet.
Regards
