Here's lspci for my machine (ACER 9420). It *does* look like the same device, doesn't it?

0a:06.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Cardbus Controller
0a:06.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD)
0a:06.3 Generic system peripheral [Class 0805]: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller

(My card reader works)

I've never loaded any alternative drivers.

Back when I was using 10.2, I seem to remember needing:

setpci -s 0a:06.2 4c.b=0x02


... which I believe tells suse that the device is a mass storage device [I'm not any kind of expert]

I got the info from here:

*However*
I upgraded my system to 10.3, and I can't find any evidence that the setpci command is still in place.

I hope this is of some use.

Good luck!
