#Sd card reader driver for toshiba satellite install#
Here are the commands to build the driver and install as a dependency. Then change to the directory and make, install and add the dependency. The driver is obtained from the Realtek driver site under the Linux section.ĭownload the files, uncompress, extract to a directory.

It turns out that this laptop uses a Realtek RTS5229 for its SD card interface. Getting it working was not trivial, I had to figure out which driver to get, which took some guesswork.
You have to often get the driver yourself and install it. This is a common problem in Linux, as the devices that are less commonly used are not going to always “just work”. It turned out that the driver was not loading by default. I tried using my 32 GB SDHC card in the USB adapter, to no avail, then I found the SD slot and it still did not work either. I started using SD cards recently and had a heck of a time using it on my laptop at first.
