Ok for completeness I removed the tifm modules and switched over to the sdhci module with

setpci -s 02:06.3 4c.b=0x02 (only for my laptop check lspci for yours)

inserting card gives

[ 8354.956000] mmcblk0: mmc2:0001 SDMMC 508800KiB
[ 8354.956000] mmcblk0: p1

But Hal does not recognize card insertion at all ????

But Manual mounting works fine.

Conclusion Both the sdhci AND tifm modules work BUT

1 with tifm modules hal events function but no auto mount, manual mount works
2 with sdhci modules hal doesn't function, manual mount still works

Hopefully this will clear up the confusion with the two different drivers and these bugs can be traced prior to feisty

so I think there are 2 bugs but need someone smarter than me to say which package they are in.
