I installed an Internal Card Reader (Vantec 58 in 1 with one USB port). This connects to one of the USB connectors on the motherboard. The device works OK. It basically installs 4 removable media drives. However now when I plug in a thumbdrive on one of my tower jacks it is not recognized. Before the ports worked fine and fairly fast.
The thumbdrive works fine when I plug it in to the port on the card reader.
I am using opensuse 11.2 with Gnome desktop.
