Ubuntu14.04 and Debian 8.1, the Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS5209 driver

[冥辰mc]

For a long time I get a SD Card driver problem in Ubuntu14.04, I want to solve it in recent days, although, it's not really a big problem.

I've RTFM for a while, but, it seems nothing change.

I wish get your help, if you can. I will certenly appreciate it.

Those are my tried records, just list below:

~$ lspci -v

......(omit output)

Build Steps
===========

1) make
2) make install
3) depmod
4) reboot your computer

Note: Root privilege is required in step 2 and 3

I got this reference to modify rtsx.c : https://dainaccio.wordpress.com/2013/07/14/realtek-sd-reader-mounting-problems-under-linux-mintubuntu/

do those changes:

static void __devexit rtsx_remove(struct pci_dev *pci) => static void rtsx_remove(struct pci_dev *pci)

static int __devinit rtsx_probe(struct pci_dev *pci, const struct pci_device_id *pci_id) => static int rtsx_probe(struct pci_dev *pci, const struct pci_device_id *pci_id)

.remove = __devexit_p(rtsx_remove), => .remove = rtsx_remove,

there was still a problem at line 275, I commented it. And yes compile passed.

~/rts_pstor# depmod
~/rts_pstor# reboot now

现在的问题是什么？从lscpi的输出来看，不是找到驱动了吗？ 还是说加载的驱动不是楼主刚编译的驱动？如果是，楼主链接里已经给出解决方法了，就是卸载旧驱动，再加载新驱动。 关于第275行的错误，应该是新内核的接口有变化，realtek官方没有跟进，这个就没有办法。 只能像楼主这样临时注释掉，但影响就不知道了。

编译安装完之后，系统不是告诉我跟以前完全一样么？ 我参考的链接，他编译完之后出现编译成功的驱动了，我的并没有丫。也许是无法解决了。 还是谢谢
