Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal
I have one of the keychain USB SD card readers, exactly this one http://
Its always detected as being read only. The SD card in it is SDHC, and my kernel supports that fine.

ah and it does write protect on only with SDHC cards. the reader is supposed to be SDHC also. And I believe it is. non SDHC cards have the write protect off done right.
