4-in-1 Card Reader working again

Updating the kernel to version 2.6.20-15-generic in Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 beta (which should become soon a no-more-beta, since the definitive launch is expected for the end of this week) has fixed the problem with the internal 4-in-1 card reader of the SI1520 that was mentioned in this previous post.

4in1 reader doesn't work on my si1520 with T5600 cpu.

It only works if you have card inserted while booting. If you remove it and try to insert it again it doesn't work.

I've tested it with 2.6.20-15 generic and low-latency kernels.

It looks like the SI1520 with T5500/5600 are equipped with a different card-reader than my version (with T7200 CPU).
Can you send the result of your lspci?

Same as mine... strange, since mine works!

I have just downgraded bios to v1.10 and I got my card reader working under feisty 2.6.20-15-lowlatency kernel.
