Comment 5 for bug 874700

It's possible... however, Marc Legris will have to look at it. There is a slot, and I'm pretty sure that the card reader worked on those systems previously, which is why I was a bit confused this time around.

However, look at this info:
https://certification.canonical.com/hardware/201011-6822/submission/AesnypxHvwnSu8W/devices

This is from a Natty certification run on that exact same system. You'll notice that Natty shows a card reader, where it is not there for Oneiric.

So the problem is either bad hardware, or disabled in BIOS (can you actually do that with card readers?) or something in Oneiric is broken WRT that particular reader.

Given that the card reader did work on the Edge 11 with Natty but did not work with Oneiric, my first inclination is an OS issue. However, I'd certainly not dismiss hardware at all, but that being said, the system really can't be certified if the hardware used to test with is broken.
