The SD/MMC card controller identifies itself as follows:
$ lspci | grep Ricoh 02:01.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev ba) 02:01.1 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 04) 02:01.2 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 21) 02:01.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C843 MMC Host Controller (rev 11)
The same chip also controls the cardbus bridge and the FireWire controller.

As soon as you plug-in a supported SD card, you should see
a new block device /dev/mmcblk0 pop up in
your syslog (/var/log/messages):
mmc0: new SD card at address 9ffc mmcblk0: mmc0:9ffc SD01G 968 MiB mmcblk0: p1
The naming scheme is
/dev/mmcblk
where DpND is the card-reader device
(0 .. n) and N is the partition number
(1 .. n) on that device. The command ls -l
/dev/mmcblk* should give you the idea.
If hald is running and properly configured, you should see that hald already mounted the device for you.
