Comment 43 for bug 323531

Some other notes:
The device operates just fine in winXP and win7. The standard usb port on the front of the card reader works just fine. Other ports do not. When the machine is booting with the card reader plugged in, as soon as grub starts loading, the lights on the mouse and keyboard go out (indicative of the drivers not being loaded). After you get to the desktop and wait about 3 minutes, the lights come on and the keyboard and mouse are functional, but the applets on the top right menubar (network, volume, login, email etc) don't work for about another minute.

Hopefully that is not too much info.

Cheers
