Comment 6 for bug 1296288

I believe I'm affected by this...
Yesterday I upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 and I noticed that. To be honest, I've had the same issue with 13.10, though I didn't have the time to dig into it. What's described here, matches my problem. Here're some outputs from my system:
$lsb_release -rd

This is the card reader I'm using:
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 076b:6622 OmniKey AG CardMan 6121

I've been using it for years without any issues on 12.04...
