Something on system is supposed to poll the device, otherwise media changes are not detected. So either HAL or DeviceKit-disks or udisks usually run and do that. I guess running "touch /dev/sdX" will make the device appear too. That's what a polling process would do, by opening the device every couple of seconds. Oh, and a SDHC card has not much to do with a smartcard like mentioned in the Subject:. :) Kay
