Yes, I did try that, using the version from 26 August 2014, and the
symptoms have not changed -- still did not recognize the SD card, and
still shows up as "Unassigned class" in lspci.

I also verified that the SD card reader works fine when this machine
is rebooted into Windows. So, I have no explanation -- why would it
have worked once, for a few minutes, in Ubuntu, and never again
(suggesting something like a flaky connection), but work fine in
Windows (suggesting a software problem)? Seems very mysterious.

Jim

| Title:
| [Lenovo ThinkPad X240] RTS5227 card reader not recognized on running
| Ubuntu 14.04
|
| Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
| Incomplete
|
| Bug description:
| According to
| https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1153618, support
| for the RTS5227 SD card reader was added in 2013 for kernel version
| 3.5.0. However, SD cards are not recognized for my Lenovo Thinkpad
| X240 running the much later release Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel version
| 3.13.0, for which lspci reports:
|
| 02:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
| RTS5227 PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01)
|
| That appears to be the same symptom as when there was no support at
| all. Any idea what happened to the support for this SD card reader,
| or what I can do to work around it?
