Hi Jean-Baptiste,

Sorry to open up this can of worms again, but I am having the same issue on Intrepid and am hoping you can help.  I figured I'd post it here (rather than the general forum) since it is exactly the same issue.  Please let me know if this is wrong as it is my first post.  I've had this system installed since Fiesty and the card reader always seemed to recognize a card, but it has never worked.  I've left it in the case and used it as an extra USB port in the front of my computer, to get a little use out of it.  Anyways, I've tested it with a 2GB Kingston 120x Ultimate SD card, a 1GB PNY card, and a 4 GB Lexar MicroSD card wrapped in an SD holder/adapter. None of them work in the Neodio, but they work great when tethered to the Casio Exilim camera.  For grins, I plugged the camera into the Neodio's USB port, and Gnome wanted to launch FSpot within seconds.  

I just reseated the Neodio and plugged it into a different USB hub port on my mobo to see if it would make a difference, and it did not.

In the attached dmesg.log, the Kingston 2GB card was plugged in around 151 seconds (it listed it as 1GB, then failed), the 1GB PNY was around 265 seconds.  The Casio Camera was around 851 seconds.  The plugin of Gparted formatted (fat16 and fat32) 2GB card seems to be around 1044 seconds.

I've tried to format the cards as listed in Ryan Maki's comment (bug 89138), when plugged in through the camera, but came up with the same result.

In researching this, it looks like all of the modules are loaded, and the SCSI emulation appears to be correct in the dmesg log.  

Here's the link to where I got this POS - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820300901
