I've got the cheapest, most generic 7-in-1 usb reader ever. there is no brand name anywhere on the box, the cd, or the device itself.

lsusb (as root) tells me
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:223a Standard Microsystems Corp.

this page:
http://www.xat.nl/en/riscos/sw/usb/c8.htm
suggests it's a Medion / SMSC 8-in1 card reader

this page:
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=2387
suggests it's an IOGEAR Inc. GFR280 Universal Memory Bank

either way, it appears as /dev/sdc1 as soon as i plug it in, mounts fine (mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/temp), works fine at least with my compactflash card. and it's quick, so i presume USB2.0 is working.

i have "scsi disk support", "scsi generic support", "probe all LUNs on each scsi device", and "build with scsi report luns support" all compiled into my kernel.
