Public bug reported: After getting a new laptop, Acer V3-551, for a long time I could not get the inbuilt Realtek PCIE RTS5209 to mount in read and write mode. It would always mount it in read only mode. After trying out many possible solutions, I just compiled the driver from the Realtek website ( http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=15&PFid=25&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false ) and everything now works perfectly.
So to add extra out of the box support, I'd like to request jockey to check for this device and install an appropriate proprietary driver deb package by default or list it as an option. Just like with proprietary graphics, wireless etc. drivers. ** Affects: jockey (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to jockey in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1099173 Title: Proprietary driver required to write to Realtek PCIE RTS5209 card reader.
