Comment 116 for bug 202490

Hi Maxim,
I tested the driver in 2.6.31-21, seems to work, i.e. dmesg is giving
reasonable output when I plug an XD card in. But I cannot mount it :)
I seem to not know which device it is. Do you mind hinting me what
should I put into /etc/fstab?

Thanks for all your work.

Pentahedron - A polyhedron having five faces. Because there are two
pentahedral graphs, there are two convex pentahedra, namely the square
pyramid and the triangular prism. The triangular prism is the unique
convex pentahedra having unit edge lengths.
