[Pkg-mactel-devel] Apple SD Card Reader

Hello List,

I am running a MacBookPro 6,2 (15" Mid 2010) with Wheezy (slightly tainted with Testing/Sid packages) and with kernel 3.9.6 (WheezyBackward):
I have noticed some trouble with the Apple SD Card Reader:

lsusb  | grep Reader

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 05ac:8403 Apple, Inc. Internal Memory Card Reader

The kernel can be configured to read SD card through SCSCI support, but it appears that udev
cannot manage it properly: inserted SD cards are poorly detected, in particular their partitions
are not detected at insertion time (but once parted is used to get the SD card table, partitions
get detected); removing SD card is not detected; some issue seems to exist concerning RW privilege
(this may be an hardware issue).

I guess that can be easily fix.

hth,
Jerome
