I have not had a problem with FC4 recognizing readers. What I have had
is a problem with the reader recognizing the SD card. My home one is a
no-name clearance sale item from a grocery store electronics section. I
wish I had grabbed a couple as it is also a USB hub.
I just ran into a headache where two out of four USB card readers
wouldn't read my 2Gig SD card. This was in both Linux and Windows.
I tried two different readers from one manufacture, one read and the
other didn't. The newer one was the one that didn't work. Go figure.
