["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Matthías Páll Gissurarson, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/alienware-m14x an update is available for your BIOS (A08). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  10ec:5209 [Alienware Alienware M14x] RTS 5209 PCI Express Card Reader
  driver not working.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I tried to fix the problem by fetching the driver from Realtek (http://www.realtek.com.tw/DOWNLOADS/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=15&PFid=25&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2)  but it would not build. The output of the make command is in the attached file.
  It does however build correctly on 3.7.8, and there the card reader works fine.
