Many new laptops have an integrated cardreade, mine, a Zepto Znote 6615WD has a Texas Instruments 803c. The TI 803 series is wide spreaded, so I hope this would work for other laptops too.

After a plain install of Ubuntu, there would be no action after inserting a flash card because udev does not figure out which drivers the cardreader needs. If “modprobe tifm_core && sudo modprobe tifm_sd” makes the cardreader working, you should add the two modules to /etc/modules, so that the system loads them at every start:

tifm_core

tifm_sd

in most magazines it’s always said, Cardreaders under Linux are nearly impossible to install, I think after doing this with my laptop, it’s ver easy.
