Bug Description

Testing this machine with 12.04.2 and the MMC function of the card reader is spotty at best with a known working card (card has been proven in many machines over the last week to work fine).

dmesg output shows the following on most attempts to insert an MMC card:
[ 1901.514830] mmc0: Got data interrupt 0x02000000 even though no data operation was in progress.
[ 1911.513733] mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
[ 1911.513940] mmc0: Got data interrupt 0x02000000 even though no data operation was in progress.
[ 1921.522723] mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
[ 1921.522921] mmc0: Got data interrupt 0x02000000 even though no data operation was in progress.
[ 1931.531902] mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
[ 1931.532042] mmc0: Got data interrupt 0x02000000 even though no data operation was in progress.
[ 1935.035968] mmc0: Card removed during transfer!
[ 1935.035984] mmc0: Resetting controller.
[ 1935.036069] mmc0: error -123 whilst initialising MMC card

This does not occur with SD and SDHC that I can tell, but with MMC, the odds are about even that the card will or will not be seen and mounted on insert.

Jeff Lane, as per http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/X401U/#support an update is available for your BIOS (313). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Daniel Can you please hand this off?

It appears no one cared to update this after I tried handing it off. I no longer have access to this hardware, nor am I on the PES Cert team, so I'm marking it as won't fix.
