2 WORKAROUNDS:
I can at least get it to shut up by doing "sudo rmmod ums_realtek"
If I subsequently do a "sudo modprobe ums_realtek" the messages start showing up again every 52 seconds.
If I actually try use the sdb device (which is the SD card in my dell mini 1012 netbook) by inserting an SD card, the card seems to work fine - it automatically reloads the module and mounts the card.
And, in addition, inserting a card also makes the messages go away, even after the card is removed, and even though ums_realtek remains loaded.
