Sandisk 6-in-1 card reader

[Michael Robb]

Hello,
  I am trying to get a Sandisk 6-in-1 card reader working with Linux (Fedora Core). I have a Sony Memory Stick that works perfectly with the dedicated Memory Stick socket. But when I placed it in a Sandisk 6-in-1 card reader (which slots into the PCMCIA socket), I get the following messages that appear from 'dmesg'.

Any suggestions on what I can do to get the card to work?

Cheers,
  Michael
