PCIe card reader not visible in KDE's "Device notifier" Plasma widget

Hello,

I'm trying to avoid doing a manual "sudo mount" whenever I plug an ExpressCard CompactFlash card reader. I'd like to use KDE's Device notifier plasma widget instead.

Drivers are OK since a manual mount works. The widget however doesn't react to the card insertion, like it does for USB thum drives / USB hard drives / CDs. However, it is visible in the "show all drives" window (normal view is "removable drives only"). A mount attempt from there fails due to privilege issues, which I consider the same "it's not a removable device" issue.

Readings lead to HAL, UDEV and DBUS, but it's quickly starting to look like chinese.

This is with Squeeze on AMD64.

Ideas?

Thanks,

JMRanger

(...)

Show us what dmesg says when you insert a compactflash card on it. It
sounds like a permissions issue.

Greetings,
