I have the same problem........I have a dual boot system..... so I have just been booting into windows to use the card reader...... and then switching over to linux and just pulling the files over from the windows partition and putting it on the linux partition. Pain in the #@#@ but I haven't gotten it (the card reader) to work in linux yet either........ but I do have my kensington usb webcam to working! ............go figure. -- Dave Crouse Running Mandrake 8.1 IBM Intellistation E Pro 450 mghz 750 mb ram --------------------------------------------------
