[SOLVED] driver for ID 0bda:0184 RTS5182 Card Reader?

Post by tsimblist » 2015/01/03 01:47:50

My Lenovo K450 SDXC reader is not working. I think I need a driver for this:

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0bda:0184 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTS5182 Card Reader

My search has been unproductive so here I am requesting help. Where do I find this driver?

I was using the Disks utility to copy a USB stick and noticed that it listed a "Generic-Multi-Card" device. So I inserted an SDXC card in the slot and it saw it and reported the partition information.

It was exFat, so it would not mount. And that is why I thought it didn't work.

Disks was able to partition it as Fat32 and then it would mount and read/write.

The nux-dextop repo has exfat-utils and fuse-exfat packages.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke
