[kwlug-disc] Bytecc 6 in One Card Reader under Linux Mint 16

[John Driezen]

I purchased a Bytecc 6 in One card reader that installs into the floppy 
drive bay from Canada Computers.  The card reader works flawlessly under 
Windows XP, but I am unable to read a USB flash drive using the 64 bit 
version of Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon.  The output of the lsusb command is:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 058f:6364 Alcor Micro Corp. AU6477 Card Reader 
Controller
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Any suggestions to get this device working under Linux Mint would be 
appreciated.
