I've got an Asus M6Ne currently running kernel 2.6.22.1. I've been
using the sdricoh_cs driver to access SD cards on the built-in Ricoh
card reader. But it doesn't seem to do anything for MemoryStick cards.
What driver is needed to access MemorySticks?

usbcore
ohci_hcd (or uhci_hcd)
ehci_hcd
sg
scsi_mod
sd_mod
sr_mod
usb-storage
Put all of those in your /etc/modules so they load at boot and your stick
should show up in /proc/partitions. I've had instances where loading
them manually after the fact doesn't quite register the device for some
reason. Perhaps there's a certain order to their insertion. Putting
them in /etc/modules seems to fix that issue. Or maybe I just got the
order correct in /etc/modules. YMMV
The stick should show up as /dev/sda in /proc/partitions. Or some other /
dev/sd? depending on your system/distro configuration. sfdisk -l /dev/
sd? should verify that it matches the specs/expectations of your stick.
Module names may vary depending on your kernel version, particularly for
the ?hci modules. Your machine should only support ohci or uhci, not
both. lspci -v should list which your usb controllers expects.

Thanks for the reply, but this laptop's memory card slot is a PCMCIA
device, not a USB device. As I already mentioned, it uses a Ricoh
controller. The slot is supposed to support SD/MMC/MS etc. I've
already tried the ide-cs driver, which is what works for CF cards in
the PCMCIA slot, but it didn't do anything for MS in the memory card
slot.

I'm only guessing now, but maybe the memorystick is placed on another lun
than lun 0. If so, it might help to do "rescan-scsi-bus.sh -l". Depending
on your distribution the script might be called something else like only
rescan-scsi-bus.

This is an early development driver and, while it's remarkable that it
works for SD, I would be really surprised if it can do much more than
that. Try their mailing list, perhaps the developers are working on
supporting other cards as well.

This might help.
T-pad 600e, SuSe 9.1 (early 2.6 kernel...IIRC 2.6.3). 64mB SmartMedia
card in Delkin PCMCIA adapter. PCMCIA slot #2 (wifi in slot #1). Linux
detects it, launches YAST, card mounts as hde & hde1, 62.4mB. Format
FAT12. Card was formatted in an Olympus camera.
This configuration autodetects USB flashdrives and opens the files in
Konqueror. No evidence of a mount point in Kdrive.
