[Novalug] How to get Linux to recognize Lexar multi-card reader

[Ken Kauffman]

Here are all the relevant activated components in my kernel.  Look under
USB storage areas for specific devices just in case and make sure SCSI is
enabled (which it looks like it is).  DEVICEFS is important.

CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI=y
CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI=y
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_SPLIT_ISO=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT=y
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_USBAT=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_SDDR09=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_SDDR55=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_JUMPSHOT=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_ALAUDA=y
CONFIG_USB_LIBUSUAL=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=y

CONFIG_SCSI=y
