** Description changed:

  Inserting a sd card into the internal card reader is not recognized by
  the system. Same problem occurs with older ubuntu versions (driver
  missing?)
  
- using ubuntu 12.04 beta 2
+ WORKAROUND: Put the following in rescan.c:
+ #include <stdio.h>
+ main(){
+   FILE *outfile;
+   outfile=fopen("/sys/bus/pci/rescan","w");
+   if (outfile != NULL){
+     fprintf(outfile,"1\n");
+     fclose(outfile);
+   }
+   else printf("permission denied\n");
+ }
+ 
+ then compile with:
+ gcc rescan.c -o rescan
+ sudo cp rescan /usr/local/bin
+ sudo chown root /usr/local/bin/rescan
+ sudo chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/rescan
+ 
+ then in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts, create a custom
+ keybinding (Add). The command should point to /usr/local/bin/rescan .
