Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.13 kernel[0].
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

While formating (either with palimpsest, gparted or mkfs) the process just hangs without explicit errors. the dmesg shows the below listed errors. Just using palimpsest under 13.10 gives the below listed error. Its is possible to read from the card though and it is possible to write files <350 mb to the sd card. i used and cross checked four different sd cards which all worked nice on other systems. The problem persists using the freshest kernel available, i tested it with 14.04 daily and arch live. Another interesting fact is tha Ubuntu seems not to be able to load the relevant Firmware while booting up: Failed to load firmware "tigon/tg357766.bin" I already asked Broadcom for a firmware/driver for this netXtreme combo lan-sdcardreader chip, but they replied that they are not supporting Linux, although they have a driver downloadable for Linux at their Website. Patch: I found this patch which may be related/ be a solution for this Problem. But i dont know if this Patch is applieable against a actual Kernel, and i dont know how to use it in general. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel-next/+/fd1acc54a6b3db4e6503ccc4a9349f28b436031a Error: kernel: [ 22.317029] tg3 0000:02:00.0 eth0: Failed to load firmware "tigon/tg357766.bin" mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
