### Possible solution ###

Hi there,

I experienced the same bug in Debian squeeze (stable) a while ago with
my floppy drive. The solution was quite simple:
Edit "/lib/udev/rules.d/80-udisks.rules" and search for the lines
---------------------------------------------------------
# PC floppy drives
#
KERNEL=="fd*", ENV{ID_DRIVE_FLOPPY}="1"

# USB floppy drives
#
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{bInterfaceClass}=="08",
ATTRS{bInterfaceSubClass}=="04", ENV{ID_DRIVE_FLOPPY}="1"
---------------------------------------------------------
Replace those "1" (ones) with "0" (zeros). That's all the magic.
Now restart the udev daemon by typing "invoke-rc.d udev restart"

You're done. It should work now.

Best Regards,

Henri
