I tested ubuntu 13.10 on clevo w310CZ, with similar realtek's chipset (no 5289 but 5286) sd card no mount too

and no one kernel module load

$ sudo lspci -v -s 03:00.0

I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 on a CLEVO P151EMx, it has a built-in Realtek PCIE Cardreader 5289, which works fine in Windows, but refuses to show up in Ubuntu.

I can't see any sd cards I put in it in /dev, and lspci shows it as follows:
```
03:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5289 (rev 01)
```
I've tried the fix here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/971876. But no luck.

Any suggestions?

P.S. I'm trying to format a microSDHC card using fdisk for use in a BeagleBone Black, if that helps.

Someone asked for the output of lspci -v -s 03:00.0:
```
 03:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5289 (rev 01)
 Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Device 5105<br>

```
The relevant entries in dmesg -T are:
```

  I know this dosen't help, but I've had the same problems on numerous netbooks/laptops. The problem is that it dosen't show up as a standard ide device, so drivers must be written for specific implementations. I just ended up giving up and buying a $2 sd card reader from amazon.

  I have Clevo W110ER with the same card reader. I needed this rts-bpp driver in Ubuntu 12.10 but in 13.04 it works out of the box. The driver in use is rtsx_pci. Show your lspci -v -s 03:00.0.

  @guntbert Uh..thanks? I figured since it was more relevant to the comments, I would put it here, but it's been added to the post anyway.

  It seems you have module loaded for this device. What dmesg -T shows when you insert a card? Filter only relevant log entries by date please. Relevant log lines start with mmc. My card show up as /dev/mmcblk0*.

  Same issue askubuntu.com/questions/256866/… and solution with patch talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=72789 That's all I can do.
