I have a cheap ‘n’ nasty external USB 2.0 cardreader which among other things does MS/MS-PRO and it works out of the box on Feisty onwards at least.

I also have an oldish Intel-based Vaio with a Memory Stick slot in it (marked Magic Gate whatever the heck that it). That only worked (Hardy) after I downloaded and compiled a module I found by Googling. Now it works fine, except that I have to remember to “make && sudo make install” every time I get a kernel upgrade!

+1 for the PSP.
I use various MS Pro Duo through the USB interface of the PSP without any problem.

If your card reader’s chipset is from Texas Instruments, memory sticks are supported.

For any other card reader, there is no support, as far as I know.

The MS Pro works in my PSP. There was a bug in Gutsy — if you deleted a file through the PSP, Gutsy would show the wrong free space — but it seems to have been corrected in Hardy.

I have a working MS/MS Pro reader in Fedora Core 4 (2.6.14, so ages old), so its likely to be a card-reader specific problem.
