Ricoh SD card reader

Hi All,

I'm hoping I'm on the right list with this question, if not please
accept my apologies and if possible direct me to the right place. I own
an Asus M6N series notebook that has a built-in SD card reader that I'm
trying to get working.  I'm running Fedora Core 2 with a vanilla 2.6.7
kernel and pcmcia-cs-3.2.7.  Reading through the pcmcia-cs docs it seems
that my chip is supported my the memory-cs module however all memory
support is removed from the RPM with a comment saying that it's obsolete
and should be handled by MTD drivers in the kernel.  The pcmcia-cs docs
also state that I can't use the standalone drivers with a 2.6 kernel so
I'm out of luck testing that module.  I read through the available
documentation on MTD that comes with the kernel and tried loading the
various mtd modules but nothing seems to work.  Here's some information
about the device:

None of the other MTD modules produce interesting output.  Any
assistance would be much appreciated.

TIA,
