[Latitude E5420] Firewire/SD cards nonfunctional

[Marc Legris]

Using either the sd card slot or firewire port does not result in expected behavior. SD cards do not automount and the firewire drive does not as well. This seems to be caused by the O2 Micro, Inc. Device which has seen these failures in other systems. Updating to -updates or -proposed (2.6.38-11.47) does not solve this issue.
