You might have to write a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d.

The only caveat is a decent power supply is needed. Poor power supplies cause a lot of noise, thus interferes with the parallel to serial conversion. That said, I never bothered with the udev rules, just either left a card plugged in or was doing a usb net setup through the USB port on the card reader. And that had it's own script.
