Hi!

I'm running a FC5 with kernel 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5
I've been trying to use the internal SD Card reader with my dell inspiron 
710m, but I haven't had luck at all.

First of all, I try to look out the SD card as a SCSI module, but it didn't 
appear in /dev ...next, I try to search it with lspci and lshal and I got 
this:

[root at rap src]# lshal |grep SD
  info.product = 'PCI7420/PCI7620 Dual Socket CardBus and Smart Card Cont. 
w/ 1394a-2000 OHCI Two-Port  PHY/Link-Layer Cont. and SD/MS-Pro Sockets'  
(string)
  pci.product = 'PCI7420/PCI7620 Dual Socket CardBus and Smart Card Cont. w/ 
1394a-2000 OHCI Two-Port  PHY/Link-Layer Cont. and SD/MS-Pro Sockets'  
(string)

[root at rap src]# lspci |grep -i card
02:04.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI7420 CardBus Controller
02:04.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI7420 CardBus Controller

So... I figure it out, that is a PCI device... but I don't know how to 
handle (mount) that :-S

I tried to use the wbsd module, but doesn't show me anything as scsi, pci or 
usb device to be mounted from /dev

Anybody knows how to work with this? Or maybe point me out where to look?
Thanks in advance.

Mauricio
