My Alcor multi-card reader worked under Karmic, either with hal polling or with the udev rule I detailed here to create all_partitions: http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/udev-cardreaders-update.html

But on Lucid it's no longer working -- whatever devicekit service is supposed to be doing what hal's polling used to do isn't doing it, and none of these attempts at a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/59-persistent-storage-multicard.rules have worked:

KERNEL=="sd[a-g]", SUBSYSTEMS=="block", ", ATTRS{model}=="USB SD Reader ", NAME{all_partitions}="card-sd", group=plugdev
KERNEL=="sd[a-g]", SUBSYSTEMS=="block", ", ATTRS{model}=="USB_SD_Reader", NAME{all_partitions}="card-sd", group=plugdev
KERNEL=="sd[a-g]", SUBSYSTEMS=="block", ", ENV{ID_MODEL}=="USB_SD_Reader", NAME{all_partitions}="card-sd", group=plugdev

The udev rule isn't seen as applying to the device if I run udevadm test /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/host4/target4:0:0/4:0:0:0/block/sdb even though the model names match.
