The Winbond W83L519D SD/MMC card reader found in many of HP/Compaq's laptops (x1000, nx7000, nx7010, etc.) can now be used in Linux. The driver is still in its early stages and not ready for inclusion in the main kernel. But for those brave enough to fiddle around the driver can do both reads and writes. The only known problem is that it doesn't like some cards (they do not get past the init. so no risk of data loss). The project web page is at: http://projects.drzeus.cx/wbsd/ Please post your results on the development mailing list there. Rgds Pierre Ossman
