my texas instrument SD card reader does not work

Thanks for yur question, this a mini how-to to work the texas SD card:

1) open a shell and do:

$: lspci

if the result is like this you can start to install the driver:

02:09.3 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated FlashMedia Controller
02:09.4 Generic system peripheral [0805]: Texas Instruments PCI6411/6421/6611/6621/7411/7421/7611/7621 Secure Digital Controller

2) in a shell do:

$: mkdir sd && cd sd

3) now we install the compile tool:

$: sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`

4) we download a driver (a little tgz with a patch to work in 7.04)

$: wget sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`

$: tar -xzvf tifm_install.tar.gz

$: cd tifm_install

5) now we install the driver

$: chmod +x install.sh

$: sudo install.sh

$: cd ..

$: cd ..

Now you have correctly installed the 0.8 tifm driver, restart the system and let me know, thanks

Sorry, I done some errors before, this is ok, sorry ;)

This worked for me. Only place I was able to find the right procedure.
Thank you so much, great work!

Coming from a DOS background, and taking a Linux/UNIX Cisco training class in college, I learned my commands a little bit different than you. I'll show you how I do my 'tar' and 'chmod' commands.
When I do extract a tar.gz file, I usually have about 4 or 5 in a directory. So, I do my 'ls *.tar.gz' and I find the one I want. Usually, the file is a really long one with too many characters for me to type correctly. If I'm extracting tArFiLename.tar.gz, I go 'tar xvf tAr*.tar.gz' and it extracts everything where it's supposed to go.
Anyway, I was going to say something about the chmod 755, but I realized that there's not much difference between chmod +x and chmod 755 unless you use a laptop w/o an easy numpad. I've got a TI card reader, and I'm not sure..I think mine has something physically wrong with it because it works, but I can only use it for a small amount of time before my laptop freezes up on me.
I'm using Kubuntu 7.04 right now, so I'll see what happens.

Hi,
thanks for this howto.
I had to type :

sudo ./install.sh

to get your script running

I am on v7.10 here and nothing changed after installation and rebooting - from what I've read somewhere else, sd card readers are not yet supported in gutsy...
