The solution you've attached doesn't work for me. I tried the similar script:

   #!/bin/bash

   while [ ! -e /dev/mmc* ]
   do
   modprobe -rf sdhci
   sleep 0.5
   modprobe -f sdhci
   sleep 1
   done

some weeks before and it didn't work either. Loop-reloading sdhci module makes the SD card LED turned on costantly and sometimes even hangs my laptop. Unfortuantely, after several minutes of waiting, what is equal to about a hundred sdhci module reloads, my card was still undetected. I think I have to wait for more elegant and safe solution.

And by the way, my card reader is recognized as (Toshiba Tecra A8):
