Description Anthony Awtrey 2008-07-01 08:51:46 UTC 
A common Sony brand card reader has connectors being identified as a 'disk' type rather than the proper 'sd_mmc' or 'smart_media' types.

ID 054c:01bd Sony Corp. Silicon Media R/W

Hal reports the following storage.model strings for the device:

  storage.model = 'USB   HS-SD Card'  (string)
  storage.model = 'USB   HS-MS Card'  (string)
  storage.model = 'USB   HS-xD/SM'  (string)
  storage.model = 'USB   HS-CF Card'  (string)

Modifying the 10-usb-card-readers.fdi file under the "Generic catch all" section as follows will correctly identify the readers.

Add this match rule:

<match key="storage.model" contains="HS-xD">
  <merge key="storage.drive_type" type="string">smart_media</merge>
</match>

Modify the rule matching 'HS-SD/MMC' to simply match 'HS-SD' instead.

I don't know if this will cause other problems, but it worked for me.
