I was emailed a fix by Mackenzie Morgan which worked for my SD card, I haven't tried any other cards yet.

Open the terminal and type in

lspci -vvvv | grep CardBus

Mine is 8039 and this fix is also reported to work for 803b.

Now in the terminal type the following three lines to force start these kernel modules:
sudo modprobe tifm_7xx1
sudo modprobe tifm_core
sudo modprobe tifm_sd

See if the card reader works now. To make these modules always start at boot add the three module names to your /etc/modules file (edit as root)

Works for me!
