Hi Everyone,
I've got a HUWAEI E160 3G dongle, which has a MicroSD slot on the side. Has
anyone had any luck it getting the MicroSD recognised under Ubuntu? When I
plug it in nothing happens, apart from the lights on the dongle flashing
indicating a signal.
I'm running Kubuntu Lucid.
   


Hi Mark,

What do you get if you run the command dmesg after you have plugged in 
the card?

Thanks for the hint, Sean! dmesg showed the reader being detected as /dev/sdc, 
and inserting a card then mounting /dev/sdc1 gives me access to the card. It 
must just be KDE that's not autodetecting it.

In case anyone's interested, you can also mount /dev/sr1 to gain access to the 
storage containing the dongle's drivers and setup tools.

Cheers
Mark
