This gives me the opportunity to comment on the "16 in 1 Cardreader USB
2.0" made by SilverCrest (http://www.mysilvercrest.de/)

I got this cardreader really cheap, but I don't know if I can recommend
it. The reason? It only works if the card is already inserted when you
attach the reader to an usb connector. Inserting and removing cards
while the card reader is attached has no effect.

I run FreeBSD 5-stable, tested on 2 machines. Machine 1:
root at kg-jobbpc3# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-jobbpc3.kg4.no 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #1: Sat Feb  5
20:36:25 CET 2005     root at kg-jobbpc3.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/T41 
i386

Machine 2:
root at kg-work# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-work.kg4.no 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #1: Sun Nov 14
20:19:11 CET 2004     root at kg-work.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SS51G 
i386


Note: I have only tested this with a CF card so far.
dmesg output attached. I have also attached the part of the dmesg output
that is different when I connect it with a (CF) card inserted.
