    Hi there !

    I've purchased a Sony Cybershot W170 and it comes with a Memory Stick Pro Duo and a Memory Stick Duo Adapter.
    I have an Acer Aspire One with Fedora 10 installed and working well.

    When I put this card into my right (5-in-1) card reader, the card is not detected.
    Also when I put a simple SD card in the slot, it is also not detected.

    Putting the SD card in the left (memory expension) slot, the sd card is detected.

    My conclusion is that my Fedora 10 system is not able to communicate with the card reader.

    Does someone know how to resolve this problem ? Is this a problem of the linux kernel or a problem of Fedora 10 ?

    yes that will force it to use the SD card reader.
    also if that in case wont work check your bios it may be disabled ?
