How can I get my recognized Ricoh SD Card reader working on 14.04?

Question

On my Asus F3 Series Laptop there is a built in SD Card reader

lspci output:

09:01.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 05)
09:01.1 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 22)
09:01.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 12)
09:01.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 12)

It is being recognized, but when I put in an SD Card, nothing happens/is mounted.

I am still looking for a solution. If anyone stumbles upon this, please try to help. — Andreas Hartmann, Sep 23 '13 at 07:25
Returns nothing, but see above, it is being recognized, it's just not named card reader — Andreas Hartmann, Sep 06 '14 at 11:44
try to force its reading: sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan" — αғsнιη, Sep 06 '14 at 11:48
Still not working. By the way, I did verify the reader and the card to be working under windows. — Andreas Hartmann, Sep 06 '14 at 11:59
It doesnt list anything new before and after putting a card in — Andreas Hartmann, Sep 12 '14 at 18:28

It's a hardware defect, unfortunately.
