I have a Gateway M675 laptop and have a small problem with the integrated USB card reader. If I boot with a card in the reader, it behaves as I believe it should. The card will be accessible and switching cards will result in a knoqueror window opening with the contents of the new card. There will also be an icon in the "My Computer" folder which links to the card. If I boot without the card in the reader there will not be a link created in "My Computer" and a konqueror window will not open up. In this case I can mount the card manually (mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /media/SDCard) and if I do, konqueror will suddenly pop up a window saying new hardware has been detected. This isn't catastrophic because I can acces the card regardless but I dislike having to access it different ways depending on how I booted. Any solutions or explanations would be appreciated.
