Hi Ged,
Are you using RedHat? If so you can add the following line to your
/etc/modules.conf line and it should automatically (via
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit) load usb-uhci when you boot;
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
It you have hotplug installed it should also automatically load
usb-storage when you plug in your card reader.
regards,
Stephen.
