I've reported similar experiences with a 6in1 FC reader a little while back
and haven't received any useful clues. The same FC works when inserted into
a CoolPix camera connected via USB.

I suspect that a lot of these devices don't conform to the standard
and hence would need special treatment via a quirk table etc. With
the number of devices on offer, Murphy's Law would dictate that whatever
device you buy, it's the one that isn't supported... :(  This leaves
me with a 6in1 card reader, 128Mb FC and 64Mb USB memory stick that in
the current configuration are useless on NetBSD.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to add a web-page listing USB devices
that are supported and have been tested successfully on NetBSD.

Needless to say, the combination FC reader and flash card works perfectly
under MS Windows XP.

I'm afraid this is not much of a help, but shaking the Bee's Hive and
bringing it to attention.
