Hi.
As in the title. I’m running openSUSE 11.2 and this card reader doesn’t work. I wouldn’t bother writing here, but since I know, that it works on Mandriva 2010.0, I thought it won’t harm to ask.
So, what is the difference since both Mandriva and SUSE has same kernels (2.6.31)?
I think not many users found it working, 'cause it doesn’t work for long, long time.
Sorry for my English, hasn’t use it for a while 
Looks like it doesn’t work in openSUSE 12.3 with kernel 3.7.10-1.16-desktop either. I will have to research this as I have a Panasonic CF-52 with a built in SmartCard reader that is not working.
It is showing up when I run /sbin/lspci:
0e:00.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev b1)
I haven’t found a driver for it on software.opensuse.org either.

Hi
Just running lspci doesn’t help, to determine the correct driver the
PCI ID’s are needed (/sbin/lspci -nnk) and also have a look at the
output from dmesg. Some card readers don’t like large SD cards… is it
an SD card your inserting, if so, what capacity.

It’s not the SD card reader that I am having trouble with, it is the SmartCard reader. Not sure of what the capacity is of that, not that it matters. The drivers for Dell latitudes (D Series) seem to work without a hitch. Just trying to figure this one out too.If you could do that, I will ensure it gets linked into the MilitaryCAC.com site. If it helps you can check the openSUSE DoD CAC page as a reference.

Ahh, so is the smartcard service running as well? The only readers I
have are in my SUN Blades and they run sparc

The smartcard service is running. It reports that it is waiting for the first smartcard device to appear which has me believe that the issue is with the reader driver. I still have to check to see if an known reader works properly but my guess is that it does indeed work without any issues.
Follow the steps on the guide in the link, it will work eventually:
