I have built a module for the ENE Card Reader found on some Acer Aspire One netbooks for Puppy Linux (Lucid) 5.25. I compiled and tested the module, created the pet package then formatted the hard drive of my Acer Aspire One AOD255-2301 netbook, performed a fresh install of the operating system, installed the newly created pet package and it worked just fine. So I am posting it here.

I did not have to reboot after installing this package. I simply inserted an SD card into the reader and it was detected. If your card is not detected after installing this package try rebooting the system. Thanks to myke, pemasu and rcrsn51 for helping identify an issue with the kernel source, providing a link to a useable kernel source and other information.

Dawnsboy, Success! It worked. I would like to thank you very much for persevering in compiling this module. Between the two sources, the tools are now available to compile and use this module for kernels up to 2.6.38.

Once again, the Puppy Community (in particular, dawnsboy, pesamu, jamesbond and jemimah) have come through in helping a user!

Thanks again,

myke

Just installed keucr_2.6.33.2-lupu525.pet on an MSI U135 netbook running LuPu-525 booted from a USB flash card, actually an SD card in a USB reader.
Works perfectly, thanks a lot Dawnsboy!

Will also install it on a triple-boot Aspire One D255 (SPup-100, LuPu-525, Win7) on which the SPup-100 version is already installed & working.

Good work to get the JMicron cardreader working! Although only SD cards are mounted, unfortunately not xD nor Sony Memory Stick Sad

I found a possible solution and driver source to fix it for xD/MS cards. I'm a n00b in buiding new PETs. Anybody here who can build it for Lupu 525?

thanks a lot tempestuous!
Pmount can't mount a MS. In my case it shows up as 'mspblk0p1' I added a line to /etc/fstab to have a quick workaround:

Just for the record, Three Headed Dog is based on a later kernel, and it works just fine with the card reader in the Acer Aspire One. But I'm glad to find the pet for Lupu 5.25.

I would like to report that with kernel 3.03 in both 32 bit or 64 biot versions that the keucr module does not work and my SD card is not recognized..

I need to test this too Smile

I have a D255 that I never use due to the Fan too noisy.
but sooner or later the hdd in my D250 will give up and then
I will have to use the extra reserve having another almost identical.

so I need to learn these pets that help it work or to install those
puppy that do work with the SD cards. So thanks for providing them.

FWIW - I did a fresh install of lupu 528 (on Acer One) and keucr_2.6.33.2-lupu525.pet works with it.
