@Jeremy, Could the problem be BIOS related? we have seen a number of
issues with older bioses on the x220s.

Here are a few cards I tested with the 3.1 RC4 kernel on Ubuntu running on
a Lenovo X220. with Ricoh e823 card reader.

== kernel version ==
Linux u 3.1.0-0301rc4-generic #201108290905 SMP MonO Aug 29 09:11:07 UTC
2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
This is the upstream RC4 kernel build for ubuntu.
