I'm using the Addonics 7-in-1 Digi-drive.  I swear I had my SD cards
working in 2.4.21, but now at 2.4.26, only my CF works too.  Here you can
see it is correctly set up:

# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: USB2.0   Model: CardReader CF RW Rev: 0.0>
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 01
  Vendor: USB2.0   Model: CardReader SD RW Rev: 0.0>
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 02
  Vendor: USB2.0   Model: CardReader SM RW Rev: 0.0>
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 03
  Vendor: USB2.0   Model: CardReader MS RW Rev: 0.0>
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02

If the device isn't detected correctly, you wouldn't see different luns.
I'll try again with 2.6.6 and post results.
