Posted on 4:08 PM by syah nooraiman

For those who has Texas Instrument SD card reader on your laptop, this tutorial will guide you to get it working. By default, card reader might not working after fresh install of Ubuntu Feisty

Open Terminal or Application>Accessories>Terminal

gksudo gedit /etc/modules

Add to that file:

tifm_sd
tifm_7xx1
tifm_core

Save it, and on next reboot it will work fine. To get it working right now:

Open Terminal or Application>Accessories>Terminal

sudo modprobe tifm_7xx1
sudo modprobe tifm_core
sudo modprobe tifm_sd

If you have an XD, MS or SM card,it won't work because those drivers have yet to be written. Sorry.
