right, memory card is the word.

I must correct my previous email: the device does not shows up ...
in less than 15 seconds, that may be considered as normal but that's
more than other devices I plugged in until now.

But, from my last tests, the real problem seems to be that the device
doesn't get removed from /dev and /sys/block after a physical removal.
That's what wrongly brought me to my 3rd diagnostic in my previous email.
I guess that's related to the card reader driver, so... excuse me for the noise.
