I don't know what kind of card your camera has, but if it's a compact 
flash it will almost certainly just work.  I have

	/dev/wd1e       /cf     msdos   rw,noauto

in /etc/fstab on 1.5.x -- I mount it, and away I go.  (Well, that's 
what I used to use; at the moment, I'm using amd to accomlish the same 
thing.)  But the adapter costs about $10, and it's much faster than USB 
or serial uploads.
