Seems to be buggy under Linux. These pagesmighthelp. As far as I know xD cards don't work under Linux using any card reader at the moment though (could be wrong about this).
I tried the above driver. the latest version (0.8) failed to compile giving me this:

What am I missing here? shouldn't the module have compile using the header from my kernal source and therefore be compatibel or am I simply a noob with a misunderstanding?
The 0.7 version compiled but the module would not insert into the kernal saying
FATAL: Error inserting tifm_7xx1 (/lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/misc/tifm_7xx1.ko): Invalid module format
I don't know what's up with version 0.8. It looks as though you have set your flags wrong on version 0.8. Putting "kernel invalid module format" into Google turns up some results that might offer a clue. I was going to try building the module myself as a test, but there seems to be a configuration problem with their server at the moment and I can't access most of it.
