[PLUG] kernel 2.6: usb compact flash reader

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I upgraded from 2.4 to 2.6 today.  Now my compact flash reader doesn't
work.  That is, the device doesn't work:

    jeff@asterix:jeff $ grep /cflash /etc/fstab
    /dev/sda1   /cflash       vfat   defaults,user,noauto        0   0
    /dev/sda1   /cflash-ro    vfat   defaults,ro,user,noauto     0   0

    jeff@asterix:jeff $ mount /cflash
    mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

    jeff@asterix:jeff $ cat /proc/scsi/scsi
    Attached devices:
    Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
      Vendor: CD-RW    Model: CDR-5W48         Rev: VSG3
      Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02

    jeff@asterix:jeff $ lsusb

    jeff@asterix:jeff $ 

(In the above, I added an extra linefeed before each prompt for
clarity.)

Any idea why I don't see the USB device shown, neither as usb nor as
scsi?  Google hasn't found me much that's different from kernel 2.4.
Any thoughts what to do?
